Question
A 50m tape of standard length has a weight of 0.05kg/m, with a cross sectional area of 0.03sq.cm. It has a modulus of elasticity of 2 x 106 kg/cm2. The tape is of standard length under a pull of 6kg when supported throughout its length and a temperature of 20oC. This tape was used to measure a distance between A and B and was recorded to be 542.25m long. At the time of measurement the pull applied was 8kg. with the tape supported only at its end points and the temperature was 15oC. assuming coefficient of linear expansion of the tape is 11.7x10-6/oC.
Compute the correction due to weight of tape and the true length of the measured line AB due to the combined effects of tension, sag and temperature.
