A 50 meter steel tape is suspended in the air between a transit and a vertical rod which is placed exactly at the 50 meter mark. The slope of the measured line is 1 degree and 30 minutes. The tension on the tape is 10 kg, and the weight of the tape per unit length is 0.05 kg/m. Determine the exact correction (m) to be applied due to slope if sag is neglected.   need answers and solutions asap, thank you!
