A 30m steel tape weighing 1.45kg is of standard length under a pull of 5kg, supported for full length. A line 938.55m long was measured using the tape with a steady pull of 10kg. If E=2.0x106kg/cm2 and unit weight of steel is 7.9x10-3kg/cm3, determine: a) cross-sectional area of the tape b) CP c) Correct length of line
