An engineer used a 100m tape measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 659.2m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and end point was found to be 3m. The 100m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 12℃.and a pull of 50N during the measurement the temperature reading is 25℃. And the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75N if A = 6.75mm^2, E= 200Gpa; mass of tape is 0.085kg/m, k= 0.0000116/℃. Find: a. Total correction per tape length b.  The corrected slope or total length c. The horizontal distance
