    A 30-meter steel tape measure was found to be 0.05 meters too short when compared to a standard. A line was measured with this tape and recorded as 466.55 meters. To calculate the correct length, the measured length is adjusted by subtracting the error percentage (0.05 meters for every 30 meters) multiplied by the measured length. The correct length of the line is therefore 465.77 meters.

    9. MEASUREMENTS WITH TAPE.

    A 30-m steel tape when compared with a


    standard is actually 29.95 m long. Determine the correct length of a line
    measured with this tape and found to be 466.55 m.

    Given:

    NL = 30 m c = -0.05 m

    ML = 466.55 m

    Required:

    The correct length of a line, CL

    Illustration:

    Solution:
    𝑀𝐿
    𝐶𝐿 = 𝑀𝐿 − 𝐶 𝐶=𝑐𝑥 𝐶𝐿 = 466.55𝑚 − 0.78𝑚
    𝑁𝐿

    466.55𝑚
    𝐶 = 0.05 𝑥 𝑪𝑳 = 𝟒𝟔𝟓. 𝟕𝟕𝒎
    30𝑚
    𝐶 = 0.78 𝑚
