The measured length of two points along the ground was recorded as 550.00 m. The 50 m tape is of standard length at temperature 15 °C and a pull of 40N. During measurement, the temperature reading was 36'C and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 48N. By raising the tape, sag was also observed. The cross sectional area is 6.50 mm² and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a unit mass of 0.07 kg/m. (K=0.0000116/"C) Determine the corrected distance in meters. NOTE: Units are not required. Round-off to two decimal places.
