Problem 1
Calculate sag correction for a 30 m steel tape under a pull of 80 N, if it is suspended in
three equal spans. Unit weight of steel is 78.6 kN/m3. Area of cross-section of tape is 8
mm2.
Problem 2:
A civil engineer used a 100m tape which is of standard length at 32°C in measuring a certain
distance and found out that the length of the tape has different lengths at different tensions
were applied as shown. K= 0.0000116 m/°c.
Length of tape
tension applied
99.986
10kg
99.994
14kg
100.03
20kg
a. What tension must be applied to the tape at 32°C so that it would be of standard
length?
b. What tension must be applied to the tape at a temp. of 40.6°C so it would be of
standard length?
