i want help $3\mathrm{.}4$ A $200-ft$ steel tape standardized at $20C$ and a tension of $24Ib$ was found to be $200\mathrm{.}20ft$ long. The tape had

a cross$-$sectional area of $0\mathrm{.}40f^2$ and a weight of $0\mathrm{.}06l\frac{b}{f}t.$ This tape is used to measure a distance CD of

exactly $345ft.$ The ground is on a smooth $1\mathrm{.}4\%$ grade; thus, the tape will be horizontally supported from two

ends. Determine the correct slope distance if a pull of $29lb$ is used and the temperature was $303K.$
