5. A 50-m steel tape weighs 0.035 kg/m and is supported at mid-length and at its end points, and is used to measure a line AB with a steady pull of 6.5 kg. If the measured length of AB is 1045.78 m, determine the following: a) Correction due to sag between supports and for the whole tape length. b) total sag correction for the whole length measured. c) Correct distance between the ends of the tape.
