A 50-m. tape was standardized and was found to be 0.0042 m. too long than the strength at an observed temperature of 580C and a pull of 15 kilos. The same tape was used to measure a certain distance and was recorded to be 673.92 m. long at an observed temperature of 680C and a pull of 15 kilos. Coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m/0C. A. Determine the standard temperature (T1) using 0.0042m as correction due to standard temp. B. Determine the total correction (in meter) due to temp. only. C. Determine the corrected distance/length of the line (in meter).

Question

A 50-m. tape was standardized and was found to be 0.0042 m. too long than the strength at an observed temperature of 58⁰C and a pull of 15 kilos. The same tape was used to measure a certain distance and was recorded to be 673.92 m. long at an observed temperature of 68⁰C and a pull of 15 kilos. Coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m/⁰C.

A. Determine the standard temperature (T₁) using 0.0042m as correction due to standard temp.

B. Determine the total correction (in meter) due to temp. only.

C. Determine the corrected distance/length of the line (in meter).
