A steel surveyor's tape is to be used to measure the length of a line. The tape has a redtangular section of 2 cm by 0.5 cm and a length of 100 cm wher7, and the tension or pull on the tape is AA N. Determine the true length of the line if the tape shows the readingito be BB cm when used with a pull of CC N at T, .The ground on which it is placed is flat.

Answer for the 1st part of the problem. magnitude of force A = 74 N direction of force A = 25o north of west second force = P direction of force P = α south of west arrow_forward The resultant of two forces is horizontal , it means that the y component of resultant = 0 Ry = ASin(25o) - PSin(α) 0 = (74×0.42) - PSin(α) PSin(α) = 31.08 NFor, the smallest force P , the value of Sinα must be maximum which is 1 when the value of αis 90 degree Thus, P×Sin(90o) = 31.08 N P = 31.08 N The magnitude of smallest force P = 31.08 N the direction of force P = 90 degree south of west = along - y axis= arrow pointing vertically downw
