A line was determined to be 2459.52 m when measured with a 30-m steel tape supported throughout its length under a pull of 3.8 kg and at a mean temperature of 34°C. Determine the correct length of the line if the tape used is of standard length at 20°C under a pull of 5 kg. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 0.03 cm2, its coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 1°C and the modulus of elasticity of steel is 2.0 x 10 k

A line was determined to be 2459.52 m when measured with a 30-m steel
tape supported throughout its length under a pull of 3.8 kg and at a mean
temperature of 34°C. Determine the correct length of the line if the tape
used is of standard length at 20°C under a pull of 5 kg. The cross-sectional
area of the tape is 0.03 cm?, its coefficient of linear expansion is
0.0000116
and
1°C
the modulus of elasticity of steel is 2.0 x 10 k
