A 50-m steel tape that weighs 0.04 kg/m is used to lay-out a distance of 275 m. The tape is supported at its end points and the 15-m and 25-m marks of every tape length. The tape is of standard length under a pull of 6 kgs. During the survey if a pull 5.5 kgs. is applied, determine the following: a. Correction due to sag for each unsupported segment of the tape. b. Total correction due to sag for one tape length. C. Correct distance to be laid-out in order to have the desired length of the line.
