NSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE ROUND OFF ONLY THE FINAL ANSWERS. An Engineer used a 30 m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measure length on the slope was recorded to be 432.20 m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the endpoint was found to be 1.25 m. The 30 m tape is of the standard length of a temperature of 10˚C and a pull of 50N. During the measurement, the temperature reading was 15˚C and the tape was suspended at both ends and with an applied pull of 75N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 650 mm² and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a mass of 0.075 kg/m. The coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/°C. Determine the net effort of error, total error and true horizontal distance.
