A civil engineer used a 30m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 459.20 m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25m. The 30m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 10°C and a pull of 50 N. During measurement the temperature reading was 15°C and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75 N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 6.50 sq. mm and the modulus of elasticity is 200GPa. The tape has a mass of 0.075 kg/m. a. determine the total correction per tape length. b. determine the correction for slope. c. determine the horizontal distance.
