A 50 m steel tape was standardized and supported throughout its whole length and found to be 0.00205 m longer at an observed temperature of 30.1 degrees Celsius and a pull of 10 kg. This tape was used to measure a line which was found to be 662.702 m at an average temperature of 24.6 degrees Celsius using the same pull. Use coefficient of linear expansion of 0.0000116 per degrees Celsius. Compute the Total Temperature Correction
