A steel tape is 100m. long at a temp of 20°C and a pull of 10kg. It was used to measure a distance of 624.95m. at a temp. of 32°C with an applied pull of 15kg. during measurement with the tape supported at midspan coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.0000116 /°C and a modulus of elasticity of 2 x 106 kg/cm2. Weight of tape is 0.04kg/m. and a cross sectional area of 0.06cm?. A. Compute the sag correction B. Compute the total correction for tension, sag and temperature. C. Compute the corrected length of the line by applying the combined corrections for tension, sag and temperature.
