A steel tape, with a coefficient of linear expansion of 0.0000116/C, is known to be 50 meters long at 30°C. The tape was used to measure a line was found to be 15532.28 meters long when the temperature was 27°C. Determine the following: a. Temperature correction per tape length b. Temperature correction for the measured line c. Correct length of the line
