A line was determined to be 2,682.13 meters when measured with a 20 m. steel tape supported throughout its length under a pull of 4 kg. at a mean temperature of 39 °C. Tape used is of standard length of 19 °C under a pull of 5 kg. Cross- sectional area of the tape is 4.796 mm^2. Determine the TOTAL ERROR of the LINE due to TEMPERATURE in meters. Round off to three decimal places. Input the magnitude only.

A steel tape standardized at 20degree celcius and supported through out under tension of 90N Was found to be 30.377m long. The tape had a cross sectional area of 55mm^2 and a weight of 73g/m. This tape was used supported at the ends only with a constant tension of 78N to measure a line from A to B in nine segments. The data given in the following table were recorded. Apply correction for tape, length,temperature,pull,sag and tape not horizontal to determine the correct length of the line Difference in Elevation Cm) 0-392 Section Meacured Recarded Distance) Tempergrare A-1 15 1- 2 30 15 0.301 2-3 30 16 O.191 3-4 16 0-255 4-5 30 16 0-38 5-6 30 8.636 6-7 0.782 7-6 30 0-825 8-8 25.348 18 0.578 Sum = 265-348 m
The error in measuring the radius of a 5 cm circular rod was 0.2%. If the cross-sectional area of the rod was calculated using this measurement, then the resulting absolute percentage error in the computed area is______ (round off to two decimal places)
A 50 m tape weighing 0.049 kg/m with a cross-sectional area of 0.05 sq. cm and modulus of elasticity equal to 2x106 kg/cm2 is used in determining the distances between two points. The tape is of standard length under a pull of 6.70 kg and a temperature of 25°C when supported throughout its entire length. The tape was then used in the field to measure a distance that was determined to be 378.123 m. At the time the measurement was made, the constant pull applied was 9 kg with the tape supported only at endpoints. During the measurement the recorded temperature was 17°C. Use o=11.6x10-6/C. Determine the correct length (in feet)of the line. Youranswer
