Given: Std. Temp. = 68°F, Std. Length = 100.00’ Std. pull (supported) = 12 lbs. E=29,000,000 lbs./in. Std. pull (unsupported) = 20 lbs. A (cross sectional area of tape) = 0.005 in.². A line was measured and recorded as 275.50’ on a day when the temperature was 28 F. The tape used to measure the line was found to be 99.975 feet long when compared to a standardized tape of 100 feet. Tape is unsupported. What is the actual measurement of the line? All other conditions are standard
