A steel tape of nominal length 30m was used to measure a line AB by suspending it between supports. The following measurements were recorded Line Length measured slope angle mean temperature tension applied AB 3°40 29.872 5° 120N The standardized length of the tape against a reference tape was known to be 30.14m at 20 and 50N. If the tape weighs and has a cross sectional area of 2mm, calculate the horizontal length of AB. Young's modulus (E) for the tape is 200 and the coefficient of thermal expansion (a) is 0.0000112 per °C
