a\ A steel tape has a cross-section of 13 mm*1 mm and weighs 0.122 kg per meter. When supported throughout its length and under a pull of 7 kg and a a temperature of 15° C, its length is 50 m. A line is measured with it and found to de 2560 m. In this measurement the tape was supported at the end only, the pull was 12 kg and the average temperature was 30° C. What is the true length of the line? Take the coefficient of expansion of tape as 12*106 per degree C, E= 2.11*10 kg\cm?. Assume the ends to be at the same level.

Question
a\ A steel tape has a cross-section of 13 mm*1 mm and weighs 0.122 kg per meter. When
supported throughout its length and under a pull of 7 kg and a a temperature of 15° C, its length
is 50 m. A line is measured with it and found to de 2560 m.
In this measurement the tape was supported at the end only, the pull was 12 kg and the average
temperature was 30° C. What is the true length of the line? Take the coefficient of expansion of
tape as 12*10 per degree C, E= 2.11*10 kg\cm?. Assume the ends to be at the same level.
