A 30-m steel tape weighing 1.75 kg is of standard length under a pull of 4.55 kg, supported for full length. This tape was used in measuring a line (found to be 1371.50 m) on smooth level ground under a steady pull of 8 kg. Assuming E = 2.05x106 kg/cm2 and that the unit weight of steel is 7.9x19-3 kg.cm3, determine the following: cross-sectional area of the tape, correction for increase in tension for the whole length measured, and the correct length of the measured line.
