A 50 m steel tape measured 50.0250 m when standardized fully supported under a 90-newton pull at a temperature of 20°C. The tape weighed 12N and had a cross-sectional area of 0.028 cm^2. What is the true length of the recorded distance AB for the following condition? (K= 0.0000116/°C, modulus of Elasticity =2.1x10^7).
Recorded distance: 215.095 m
Average temperature: 12°C
Means of support: Suspended
Tension: 120 N
Elevation difference per 100 m: 2.5m
Round off the final answers to the nearest hundred thousandths (five decimal places) and indicate if the answer is positive or negative.
