A 30 m steel tape weighing 14.23 N is of standard length under a pull of 7 kg, supported for full length. The tape was used in measuring a line 789.25 m long on smooth level ground under a steady pull of 12 kg. Assume E = 2 x 106 kg/cm² and the unit weight y of the steel to be 7.9 x 10-³ kg/cm³. a) Determine the cross-sectional area of the tape. Hint: y = W/V
