kg. The length of the line was found to be 525.80 m. The temperature at the time of
hi

measurement was 300C and the tape is correct at 240C when there is not pull.

Determine the horizontal distance between the end points of the line. The
(C

difference of levels of the two ends of the line is 9.14 m. The coefficient of thermal
