Question

Engr. Sova Ho used 30m length of tape in measuring a distance line. The measured length of the line was recorded to be 454.62 m.

During the measurement the temperature reading was 11 ^oC and the tape was supported at both ends.

The cross sectional area of the tape is 6.50mm² and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a weight of 0.075 kg/m. K= 11.6 x10^-6m/c.

If the engineer determined the Temperature correction, Pull correction, and Sag Correction lengths to be 1,640.01 μm, 588μm, and 1.71 mm respectively, per segment.

Calculate the applied Pull of the 30m tape in kg.
