M5-5 CORRECTION DUE TO TENSION. A 30-m steel tape weighing 1.45 kg is of standard length under a pull of 5 kg, supported for full length. The tape was used in measuring a line 938.55 m long on smooth level ground under a steady pull of 10 kg. Assuming E = 2.0x10“ kg/cm² and the unit weight of steel to be 7.9x10° kg/cm³, determine the following: a) cross-sectional area of the tape. b) correction for increase in tension. c) correct length of the line measured.
