Question
A steel surveyor's tape is to be used to measure the
length of a line. The tape has a rectangular cross
section of 0.05 in. by 0.2 in, and a length of 100 ft
when the temperature is T₁ = 60 deg F and the
tension or pull on the tape is 20 lb. Determine the
true length of the line if the tape shows the reading
to be 463.25 ft when used with a pull of 35 lb at a
temperature of T2 = 90 deg F. The ground on which
it is placed is flat.
ast = 9.60(10-6)/°F, Est = 29,000 ksi.
