Example 4.2
You must lay out two points that are exactly 100.000 m apart.
Field conditions indicate that standard conditions apply except
the measured temperature is 27ºC. Determine the distance to
be laid out.

Example 4.5
A 50-m tape weighs 2kg and is supported at its end points and at the
8-m and 25-m marks. If a pulls of 6 kg is applied, determine the:
a) Correction due to sag between the 0-m and 8-m marks, the 8-m and
25-m marks, and the 25-m and 50-m marks.
b) Correction due to sag for one tape length, and
c) Correct distance between the ends of the tape.

Assignment 4.2
A 30-m tape is supported only at its ends and under a
steady pull of 8 kg. If the tape weighs 0.91 kg,
determine the sag correction and the correct distance
between the ends of the tape.

Example 4.7
A tape of standard length 20 m at 85°F was used to measure a
base line. The measured distance was 882.50 m. The following
being the slopes for the various segments of the line:
Calculate the true length of the line if the mean temperature
during measurement was 63°F and the coefficient of thermal
expansion of the tape material is 6.5 × 10–6 per °F.

Example 4.8
A base line was measured by tape suspended in catenary under a pull of
145 N, the mean temperature being 14°C. The lengths of various segments
of the tape and the difference in level of the two ends of a segment are
given in Table.
If the tape was standardized on the flat under a pull of 95 N at 18°C
determine the correct length of the line. Take ;
Cross-sectional area of the tape = 3.35 mm2
Mass of the tape = 0.025 kg/m
Coefficient of linear expansion = 0.9 × 10–6 per °C
Young’s modulus = 14.8 × 104 MN/m2
