Q.4 A line was measured with a steel tape which was exactly 30m long at 18oC and found to 07
be 452.343m. The temperature during measurement was 32oC. Find the true length of
line. Take coefficient of expansion of the tape per oC =0.0000117.

Q.5 A steel tape was standardized as 30.00m at 18oC temperatures. A line was measured as 04
480.0m at mean temperature of day as 30oC. Calculate the true length of line, if
coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is 0.000012 per oC rise in temperature.

Q.6 A steel tape was exactly 30.00 m long at 20o C and when supported throughout its length 07
under a pull of 9 kg. A line was measured with a tape under a pull of 14.00 kg and found
to be 1800.00m. The mean temperature during the measurement was 36oC. Assuming the
true length of the line, given that cross-section area of the tape =0.05 cm2. The weight of
1 cm2 of tape is 0.0087 kg. The co-efficient of expansion =0.000012 per 1oC and the
Modulus of Elasticity = 2.1 x 106 kg/cm2.Find the corrected measured length.

Q.7 The length of a chain line when measured with a 20m chain was found to be 1432 meters. 03
But when a 30m chain which was 0.65 meter too short was used for the purpose, the line
was found to be 1445 meterlong. Find the error in 20m chain?

Q.8 What are the corrections required in linear measurement? Explain any one in detail. OR 05
Discuss different types of tape correction by giving its formulas
Corrections required in linear measurement are
(1) Chain correction
(2) Tape correction
