SITUATION I: A 50-m steel tape is of standard length under a pull of 5kg and a temperature of 22 degree celcius when supported throughout its entire length. The tape weighs 0.06 kg/m, has a cross section area of 0.06 cm’and a modulus of elasticity of 2x10°kg/cm?. The tape was used in the field to measure a distance that was determined to be 525.48. At the time the measurement was made, the constant pull applied was 10kg with the tape supported only at endpoints. During measurement, the temperature was observed to be at an average of 19 degree Celsius. Use alpha a= 12.36x10/degree celcius. 1. Determine the correction due to tension.
