A steel tape used for measurement in surveying has a length L and a total weight W.
Question:
A steel tape used for measurement in surveying has a length L and a total weight W. How much horizontal tension must be applied to the tape so that the distance marked on the ground is a? In practice the calculation should also include the effects of elastic stretching and temperature changes on the tape's length.
Given:
L = 100 ft
W = 2 lb
a = 99.90 ft
