A steel tape with a unit weight of 76.5 kN/m³ and having a cross-sectional area of 2 mm? is used to measure a horizontal distance of 85.95 meters supported at bo ends. If the standard pull for the tape is 5.44 kg, what must be the applied pull in (normal tension) in order to have no correction at all. Use 9.81 m/s? as acceleratic due to gravity.

2. A steel tape with a unit weight of 76.5 kN/m³ and having a cross-sectional area of 2.5
mm? is used to measure a horizontal distance of 85.95 meters supported at both
ends. If the standard pull for the tape is 5.44 kg, what must be the applied pull in kg
(normal tension) in order to have no correction at all. Use 9.81 m/s? as acceleration
due to gravity.
