A 50-m steel tape was used to measure a line and the initial pull = 5.5 kg. Pull at time of measurement = 8.0 kg. Weight of tape = 0.05 kg/m. E = 2.1 x 10^6 kg/cm^2. Cross section = 0.04 sq.cm. Measured distance between two points = 488.650m in an inclined %3D %3D surface having a gradient of 3%. Find the correct distance in meters between the two points. (no need to input units in the final answer)
