Question
A baseline was measured using a 100m tape which is standardized at 15°C with a standard
pull of 10kg. The recorded distance was found out to be 430.60 meters. At the time of
measurement the temperature was 20°C and the pull exerted was 16 kg. The weight of one
cubic cm of steel is 7.86kg and a weight of 2.67kg. Use E = 2x106 kg/cm², a= = 7x10-7/°C
a) Compute the cross sectional area of the tape.
b) Compute the total correction
=) Compute the true length of the baseline
