9. The data presented in the Table below was obtained when measuring the length of a line by tape suspended in catenary under a pull of 134 N, the mean temperature being 16\deg C. Bay Length (m) Difference in level (m)129.898+0.382229.950-0.234329.883+0.271429.901-0.075 If the tape was standardised on the flat under a pull of 89 N at 20\deg C, how long is the line? Note: Cross-sectional area of tape =3.24 mm2. Mass of Tape =0.2550N/m, Coefficient of linear expansion =0.0000009/\deg C, Youngs Modulus =15.5 x 104 MN/m, Mean height of line above sea level =53780 mm, Radius of the earth =6367000000 mm.
