A line is recorded as 472.90 m long. It is measured with a 0.65 kg tape which is 30.005 m long at 20^oC under a 50 N pull supported in both ends. During measurement, the temperature is 5^oC and the tape is measured under a 75 N pull. The line is measured on 3% grade. E = 200 GPa, cross sectional area of tape is 3 mm²and the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m/^oC

Compute the actual length of tape during measurement
Compute the total error to be corrected for the inclined distance
What is the horizontal distance?
