A line was determined to be 2,682.13 meters when measured with a 20 m. steel tape supported throughout its length under a pull of 4 kg. at a mean temperature of 39 °C. Tape used is of standard length of 19 °C under a pull of 5 kg. Cross- sectional area of the tape is 4.796 mm^2. Determine the TOTAL ERROR of the LINE due to TEMPERATURE in meters. Round off to three decimal places. Input the magnitude only.
