heavy 50-m tape has a cross-sectional area of 0.05cm^2 and is standardized at a tension of 5.5kg and is of standard length at 20degree C. It is used to layout a runway 2,500.00m long. Determine the correct length to be laid out when the temperature is 42degree C and if a pull of 12kg is applied. E= 2.10 x 10^6 kg/cm^2 and the coefficient of linear expansion = 0.0000116/1degree C
