PROBLEM:

1b) A rectangular lot was measured using a 30 meters metallic tape which was 5.0 mm too short.
The recorded dimensions were 120.00 m long by 65.00 m wide. (1) What is the error introduced
due to the erroneous length of tape? (2) What is the actual area of the lot?
ILLUSTRATE AND LABEL:

120.00m

65.00m

SOLUTION:

SUMMARIZED FINAL ANSWER:

1b)1) Error in length = -0.02m
Error in width = -0.011m
2) A = 7,797.38 sqm

 PROBLEM:
2b) A standard steel tape is 30m long at 50°C with a pull of 10 kgs. A line was measured and to
be 9150.00m during which the temperature was 65°C using the same pull. If the coefficient of
linear expansion is 0.0000065 m/°C, what is the correct measurement of the line?
ILLUSTRATE AND LABEL:

T=10 kg

9,150.00m

SOLUTION:

SUMMARTIZED FINAL ANSWER:

2b) CL= 9,150.89m

 PROBLEM:
3b) What difference in temperature from standard if neglect in use of a steel tape will cause an
error of –(0.015) in every 50.00m, if the coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.0000116 m/m-℃?
ILLUSTRATE AND LABEL:

SOLUTION:

SUMMARTIZED FINAL ANSWER:

3b) Difference in temperature = -25.9℃
