A steel tape with standard length of 50 m, cross-section area of 5 mm2 and density of 7860 kg/m3 is used to measure a side of a lot by using a 120-N pull. The tape is supported only at the ends. If the measured length of the side is 50 m, what is its true length in meters? Consider only the effects of sag. 49.85 49.80 49.7 49.75
