The standard length of a tape is 100m having a weight of 1.2kg with the standard temperature of 20 ̊C and standard pull of 5.5kg. The young modulus of elasticity of the tape is 200GPa, cross sectional area is 2.8mm2 and the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/ ̊C. Determine the normal tension of the tape.

Question

The standard length of a tape is 100m having a weight of 1.2kg with the standard temperature of 20 ̊C and standard pull of 5.5kg. The young modulus of elasticity of the tape is 200GPa, cross sectional area is 2.8mm2 and the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/ ̊C. Determine the normal tension of the tape.


Hint: The normal tension of a tape is the applied tension which will cause the effects of pull and sag to neutralize each other.
