A steel tape is 100 m long at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a pull of 10 kg. It was used to measure a distance of 600.00 m at a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius with an applied pull of 20 kg during the measurement with the tape supported at both ends. Coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.0000116 per degrees Celsius and a modulus of elasticity of 2x10^6 kg/cm^2. Weight of the tape is 0.04 kg/m and a cross sectional area of 0.06 cm^2. Compute the Corrected Length of the Line
