Neslyn used a 50m steel tape used to measure a certain distance. It was later found that the tape is 0.03m too long. The tape has a cross sectional area of 4.5mm2 and weight of 0.2513N/m. It was standardized at a temperature of 25°C and a pull of 55N. During the measurement, the tape was held horizontal and supported at every 10m with a constant tension of 45.5N. The temperature at the time of measurement is 34°C. If the measured distance is 486.56m, determine the corrected distance (m).
