The tape was used in measuring a line 789.25 m long on smooth level ground under a steady pull of 12 kg. Assume E = 2 × 106 kg/cm² and the unit weight y of the steel to be 7.9 × 10-3 kg/cm³. a) Determine the cross-sectional area of the tape. Hint: y = W/V b) Determine the correction due to pull for one tape length. c) Determine the total correction due to pull. d) Determine the corrected distance.
