The distance of the flag pole to the campus grounds was recorded as 440.37 m. A 50-m steel tape, of standard length at 20°C and 41 N, was used. During measurement, the temperature reading was 36°C with an applied pull of 57 N. Determine the correct distance of pole to the campus. Other properties of the tape is listed below: • cross-sectional area = 8.0 m² modulus of elasticity = 200 GPa . K = 0.0000116/°C
