A 50-m steel tape weighs 0.04 kg/m and has a cross-sectional area of 0.022 sq. cm. It measures correctly when supported throughout under a tension of 8.0 kg and at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. When used in the field, the tape is only supported at its ends, under a pull of 9.0 kg, and at an average temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. What is the distance between the zero and 50-m mark? O a. 47.98 m O b. 48.89 m O c. 49.90 m O d. 50.09 m
