A 30-m steel tape standardized at 20°C and supported throughout under a tension of 5.45 kg was found to be 30.012-m long. The tape had a cross-sectional area of 0.050 cm? and a weight of 0.03967 kg/m. This tape was held horizontal, supported at the ends only, with a constant tension of 9.09 kg, to measure a line from A to B in three segments. The following data below were gathered from the field. Measured Temperature Section Distance (m) ("C) А-1 30 14 1-2 30 15 2-B 21.151 16
