The surveying team used 30 m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 450.00m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25m. The 30 m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 10°C and a pull of 50N. During measurement the temperature reading was 15°C and tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75 N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 6.50 mm² and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a mass of 0.075 kg/m. K=0.0000116 m/°C. Determine the combined correction (temperature, pull and sag) per tape length to be applied
