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
