Question: Problem I. Errors in Chain Surveying a - A line was measured with a steel tape which was exactly 3 0 m long at 1

Problem I. Errors in Chain Surveying
a- A line was measured with a steel tape which was exactly 30m long at 18C and found to be 452.343m. The temperature during measurement was 32C.
Given: coefficient of expansion of the tape 1.16**10-5/unit length ??C.
Identify the type of the error and find the true length of the line.
b- A 50m tape is suspended between the ends under a pull of 150N. The mass of the tape is 1.52 kilograms.
Identify the type of the error and find the true length of the line
c- A line was measured with a steel tape which was exactly 30ft at 18F and a pull of 50lb and the measured length was 459.242ft. Temperature during measurement was 28F and the pull applied was 100lb. The tape was uniformly supported during the measurement.
Given: cross-sectional area of the tape was 0.02in2, coefficient of expansion 6.45**10-6? unit length ??F, and modulus of elasticity of steel Esteel=29**10???6lbin2
Identify the different types of errors and find the true length of the line.
