50 m tape of standard length has weight of 0.05 kg/m, cross section is 0.04sq cm, E is 2.10 x10 6 kg/sq cm. The tape is of standard length under a pull of 5.5 kg when supported throught its length. This tape was used to measure a distance AB and was recorded to be 458.65 m. at time of measurement the pull applied was 8 kg with the tape supported only at its endpoints and temperature observed was 18°C. Solve for the pull correction for the measured line.
