(b)- A base line was measured by tape suspended in catenary under a pull of 125 N, the mean temperature being 12°C. The lengths of various segments of the tape and the difference in level of the two ends of a segment are given in Table (1). Table (1) Span Length Difference in (m) 29.988 29.895 29.838 29.910 level (m) +0.364 -0.241 2 +0.390 -0.160 4 If the tape was standardized on the flat under a pull of 75 N at 18°C determine the correct length of the line. Take, Cross-sectional area of the tape = 4.35 mm Mass of the tape = 0.025 kg/m, Coefficient of linear expansion = 0.8 x 10 per C Mean height of the line above M.S.L. 41.76 m, Radius of earth = 6380 km Young's modulus -12.8 x 10' MN/m?
