A surveyor used a 30 m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 459.20 m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25 m. The 30 m tape is of standard length at a temperature of and a pull of 50 N. During measurement, the temperature reading was and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75N. The cross sectional area of the tape is and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPA. The tape has a mass of 0.075kg/m. K = 0.0000116 Determine the correction for slope and horizontal distance.

Question

A surveyor used a 30 m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on
the slope was recorded to be 459.20 m long. The difference in elevation between the
initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25 m. The 30 m tape is of standard
length at a temperature of and a pull of 50 N. During measurement, the temperature
reading was and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75N.
The cross sectional area of the tape is

and the modulus of elasticity is 200

GPA. The tape has a mass of 0.075kg/m. K = 0.0000116

Determine the correction for

slope and horizontal distance.
