A surveyor plans to measure an unknown distance on a flat ground surface. O to P was determined to be 2395.25 when the surveyor used a 30m tape supported throughout its length under a pull of 4kg. Calculate the temperature during the actual measurement if the tape used was standardized at 20 degrees C under a pull of 5 kg, cross sectional area of 0.03 cm^2, coefficient of linear expansion equal to 0.0000116/degrees C, modulus of elasticity of steel 2.10 x 10^6 kg/cm^2 and the corrected distance is 2395.63 m.

Question
A surveyor plans to measure an unknown
distance on a flat ground surface. O to P
was determined to be 2395.25 when the
surveyor used a 30m tape supported
throughout its length under a pull of 4kg.
Calculate the temperature during the actual
measurement if the tape used was
standardized at 20 degrees C under a pull of
5 kg, cross sectional area of 0.03 cm^2,
coefficient of linear expansion equal to
0.0000116/degrees C, modulus of elasticity
of steel 2.10 x 10^6 kg/cm^2 and the
corrected distance is 2395.63 m.
