3.2. The length of a survey line was measured with a 20 m chain and was found to be equal to 1200 metres. As a check, the length was again measured with a 25 m chain and was found to be 1212 m. On comparing the 20 m chain with the test gauge, it was found to be 1 decimetre too long. Find the actual length of the 25 m chain used.

The length of survey line measured with 20 m chain was found to be 840 m. The same line when measured with 30 m chain was found to be 849 m. The 20 m chain was found to be 0.5 link too long. Find the true length of the 30 m chain.
A 100-meter tape weighing 5.08 kg was used to measure a line. It was supported at the end points, midpoint, and quarter points and the tension applied is 60 N. If the total measured distance is 2432.65 m, what is the correct distance of the line?
You measure a distance of 2.9 x 103 ft using 100-ft tape. The total error must not be more than+/- 0.18 ft. What must then be the error of each individual measurement?
A 50 m. tape was standardized and was found to be 0.0038 m. too long than the standard length at an observed temperature of 35°C and a pull of 15 kilos. The same tape was used to measure a certain distance and was recorded to be 7235.98 m. long at an observed temperature of 40°C and a pull of 15 kilos. Determine the true length of the line.
A line 100m long was paced by a surveyor for four times with the following data, 142, 145, 145.5, and 146. Then another line was paced for four times again with the following results, 893, 893.5, 891, and 895.5. Determine the length of the line.
A student was asked to make a 345.43 m long line using a 25 m tape that is 0.0021 too long, what is the required measurement?
An engineer surveyor used a 100 m tape to measure the distance ABC. He started at A. He placed the first pin 1.34 m east of B with a tape length of 95 m. Then he placed the second pin 2.65 m (with full tape length) north of line BC. The last pin was placed at C. The total recorded distance was 271 m. What is the corrected total distance of ABC?
Elementary Surveying: Measurement of Horizontal Distances, show the proper and right solution. 1. A 30-m steel tape weighing 1.45kg is of standard length under a pull of6kg, supported for full length. The tape was used in measuring a line2,893.4m on a smooth level ground under a steady pull of 17kg. AssumingE = 3.20 x10^6kg/cm2. Determine the correct length of the line measured.
The distance between two points is found to be 220.45 m using a 100 m tape that is found to be X meter too long. The length to be laid on be ground should be 220.406 m. What should be the value of X?
A line was divided into 4 segments and was measured through taping. The surveyors recorded the following data on their first trial: 20.3m, 12.1m, 15.8m, and 25.3m. On their second trial, the following data were gathered: 23m, 13m, 14.1m, and 23.1m. Determine the length (m) of the line.
A steel tape is 100.00 ft long and has a weight of 0.0225 lb/ft and is used to measure a line from A to B in two segments (one full tape length and one partial tape length), supported at the ends only for each of the two segments. The recorded distance is 181.83 ft. The pull at the time of measurement is 12 lb. What is the length of the line corrected for sag? (Assume that no other tape corrections need to be applied.)
