8.TAPE MEASUREMENTS
a. A line was recorded as 1650.00 meters long. It is measured with a 0.65 kg standard tape
30.00m long at 20°C under a 50N pull supported at both ends. During the measurement
the temperature was 5°C and the tape was suspended under a 75N pull. The line was
inclined on a 3% grade. What is the true inclined distance? E = 200GPa, A = 3.0 mm² and
the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m/°C.
b. A line was recorded as 2000.00 meters long. It is measured with a 0.65 kg standard tape
30.00m long at 20°C under a 50N pull supported at both ends. During the measurement
the temperature was 5°C and the tape was suspended under a 75N pull. The line was
inclined on a 3% grade. What is the true inclined distance? E = 200GPa, A = 3.0 mm² and
the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m/°C.
