A 30 m. tape was standardized and was found to be 0.0022 m. too long than the standard length at an observed temperature of 55 deg Celcius and a pull of 15 kg. The same tape was used to measure a certain distance and was recorded to be 670.89 m. long at an observed temperature of 64 deg Celcius and a pull of 15 kg. Coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/deg Celcius. Determine the total correction.
