A civil engineer used a 30-m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length of the slope was recorded to be 425.20m long the difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25 m. The 30-m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 10 deg. C and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75 N. The cross-sectional are of the tape is 6.50 mm^2 and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a linear density of 0.075 kg/m, α = 0.0000116/dec. C. Neglect corrections due to sag. Determine the horizontal distance.
