Question

A line is regarded as 485 m long. It is measured with a 500 grams tape which is 30.05 m long at 20°C under a 4.5 kg pull supported throughout its length. During measurement the temperature is 4.5°C and the tape is suspended under a 6.5 Kg pull. The line is measured at 3% grade. What is the true horizontal distance?

◦E=2x106 kg/cm2

◦v =126.54 cm3/kg

Given:  
Nominal Tape Length L1
Total weight of tape W
Standard Temperature of Tape T1
Temperature during measurement T2
Standard Pull of Tape P1
Pull applied during measurement P2
Measured Distance Di
correction due incorrect tape length Ci
Ground slope S
Cross-sectional area of the tape A

 

Solution
correction per tape length (correction per 30-m length)
incorrect tape length CI Question Blank 11 of 20 meter
temperature correction CT Question Blank 12 of 20 meter
pull correction CP Question Blank 13 of 20 meter
