The temperature was 10 oC during the measurement, and the tape was supported on both ends. The tape has a cross sectional area of 7.20mm2 and a modulus of elasticity of 200GPa. The tape is 0.095 kg/m in weight. k = 11.6 x10-6 m/C  If the engineer determined the lengths of the Temperature correction, Pull correction, and Sag Correction to be 1,197.23μm, 285.53 μm, and 2.23 mm, per segment, Calculate the 20m tape's standard pull in kilograms.

Question

ngr. Beleric measured a distance line using a 20m length of stainless steel tape measure. The line's length was determined to be 396.84meters.
The temperature was 10 oC during the measurement, and the tape was supported on both ends.
The tape has a cross sectional area of 7.20mm2 and a modulus of elasticity of 200GPa. The tape is 0.095 kg/m in weight. k = 11.6 x10-6 m/C 
If the engineer determined the lengths of the Temperature correction, Pull correction, and Sag Correction to be 1,197.23μm, 285.53 μm, and 2.23 mm, per segment,

Calculate the 20m tape's standard pull in kilograms.
