The difference in elevation between line AB is 6.5 m. A 100 meter steel tape was used with a standard pull of 12 kg under a temperature of 300C. The line was measured on a sloping ground and found to be 486.396 m. But during the measurement, the temperature was 220C and the tape was suspended under a pull of 14 kg. The tape weighs 5 kg and it was supported at 0-30-75-100 marks when measuring. Determine the correct slope distance and horizontal distance. A = 0.04 sq. cm
