A 50-m steel tape standardized at 20° was found to be 50.16 m long. This tape was held horizontal to measure a line from A to B in three segments. The data listed in the following table were recorded. Apply corrections for tape length and temperature change to determine the correct length of the line. The coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction of the tape is 0.000116 /unit length/degree Celsius. Section Measured distance (m) Temperature (C") I 50.00 35 II 50.00 37 III 31.215 40
