Question
Under a pull of 145 N and mean temperature of 14 °C, a line was measured by a tape suspended in catenary. In standard condition, the tape has a pull
95 N at 18 °C. The lengths of various segments of the tape and the difference in level of the two ends of a segment are given in the table below:
Length

29.895
- 0.214
29.838
+ 0.309

29.910
- 0.106
Take:
Cross-sectional area of the tape = 3.35 mm2
Mass of the tape = 0.025 kg/m
Coefficient of linear expansion = 0.9 x 10-6 per °C
Young's modulus = 14.8 x 104 MN/m2
Mean height of the line above M.S.L. = 51.76 m
Radiur of onrth
6270 km
