Question

A steel tape is 100m long at a temperature of 20 degrees celsius and a pull of 10kg. It was used to measure a distance of 624.95m at a temperature of 32 degrees with an applied pull of 15kg during measurements with the tape supported at just the end of the tape. Coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.0000116/C and modulus of elasticity is 2000000kg/sq.cm. The weight of the tape is 0.04kg/m and a cross sectional area of 0.06sq.m.

Determine the total sag correction and indicate if the tape is too long or too short.

Determine the total correction due to pull and indicate if the tape is too long or too short.

Determine the total correction for temperature and indicate if the tape is too long or too short. Portrays to the closeness of the trials to one another
