A line measured in the field and found to be 1,219.00 m, with a steel tape with length of 50m, and weight of 0.70kg. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 0.03cm^2, and was standardized at a temperature of 20°C under a tension of 5kg. Find the correction of the line due to tension, temperature and sag. Find the corrected length of the line, if the distance measured in the field under tension force of 10kg and at a temperature of 35°C. The modulus of elasticity, E, is 2.10 x 10^7 kg/cm^2. K = 0.0000116 m/m°C.
