A line was measured to be 625.35 m using a 50-m steel tape under a pull of 6 kg. The mean temperature during the measurement is 22°C. The tape used has a cross-sectional area of 0.000003 m? and has a standard length at 30°C under a pull of 8 kg. The modulus of elasticity of the tape is 2 x 10° kg/cm2 and the coefficient of thermal expansion is 1.16 x 10-5/°C. Calculate the corrected length of the line. Paragraph
