A 30m steel tape is suspended in the air between a theodolite and a vertical rod, which is placed exactly at the 30m mark. The slope of the measured line is 1°50'. The tension on the tape is 8kg, and the weight of the tape per unit length is 0.03kg/m. What pull (normal tension) is required in order that the effect of sag will be eliminated when the tape is supported at end points only? The tape has a standard pull of 8kg. The tape's cross-sectional area and modulus of elasticity are 0.05cm2 and 200GPa, respectively.
