Question

A line was recorded as 1750.00 meters long. The standard tape weighs
0.65 kg , 30.00m long at 20°C under a 50N pull. During the actual
observation the temperature was 5°C and the tape was suspended under
a 75N pull. It was also found that the tape is 3.00mm too long. If the line
was inclined at 3%. E = 200GPa, A = 2.50mm² and the coefficient of linear
expansion is 0.0000116 m/°C.
(a) What is the actual inclined distance?
(b) What is the actual horizontal distance.
