1. The taped distance of a line was 99.812 m using a 100m steel tape weighing 2 kg at a pull of 10 kg and temp of 32°C. The difference in elevation between the end points is 45cm. The tape is exactly 100m at a temp of 28ºC and standard pull of 10 kg. If the coefficient of expansion of the tape is 0.0000118/°C and the tape was supported at the ends and at 25m interval during measurement find the correct horizontal distance of the line.
