A line was measured with a 30-m steel tape and its measured direction with the use of compass was S 87d 54m W. The tape is standardized at 20 C and with a pull of 10 kg. It was used for measuring the 144.35m length supported at the ends only with applied pull of 10 kg and temperature 10 C. Assuming the coefficient of linear expansion of the tape is 0.0000116/°C. It has a modulus of elasticity of 2.10x106 kg/sq. cm, cross-section area of 0.05 cm2, and a weight of 0.03 kg/m. Compute for the following: Item Answer Sag Correction Temperature Correction Pull Correction Combined Correction Corrected Length In addition, compute for the true bearing of the measured line if the magnetic declination is 3d 20m W at that time?

The tape is
A line was measured with a 30-m steel tape and its measured direction with the use of compass was S 87d 54m
standardized at 20•C and with a pull of 10 kg. It was used for measuring the 144.35m length supported at the ends only with applied
pull of 10 kg and temperature 10 C. Assuming the coefficient of linear expansion of the tape is 0.0000116/°C. It has a modulus of
elasticity of 2.10x106 kg/sq. cm, cross-section area of 0.05 cm2, and a weight of 0.03 kg/m.
