Question: A line is recorded as 5 7 2 . 9 0 m long. It is measured with a 0 . 6 5 k g tape

A line is recorded as 572.90m long. It is measured with a 0.65kg tape which is 30.005m long at 20C under a 50N pull supported at both ends. During measurement, the temperature is 5C and the tape is suspended under a 75N pull. The line is measured on 3% grade, E=200GPa, the cross-sectional area of tape is 3mm2 and the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116mC.
a. Compute the actual length of tape during measurement.
b. Compute the total error to be corrected for the inclined distance. (ANSWER THIS)
What is the true horizontal distance?
A line is recorded as 5 7 2 . 9 0 m long. It is
