A steel tape of nominal length 30m was suspended between supports to measure the length of a line. The measured length of the line on slope of angle 30 50’ is 29.859m. The mean temperature during the measurement was 120 c and the pull applied was 100N. If standard length of the tape is 30.005m at 200 c and the standard pull is 45N, calculate the corrected horizontal length. Take:-  w= 0.15N/m  A= 2.5mm2  ᾱ= =1.15*10-5 /0 c  E=2.0*105 N/mm2

Question

A steel tape of nominal length 30m was suspended between supports to measure the length of a line.
The measured length of the line on slope of angle 30 50’ is 29.859m. The mean temperature during the
measurement was 120
c and the pull applied was 100N. If standard length of the tape is 30.005m at
200
c and the standard pull is 45N, calculate the corrected horizontal length. Take:-
 w= 0.15N/m
 A= 2.5mm2
 ᾱ= =1.15*10-5 /0
c
 E=2.0*105
N/mm2
