NAME: Laurence Dave B. Belason DATE: January 15, 2021

1. 10pts: A line was determined to be 4761.25 m. when measured with a 100-m steel tape
supported throughout its length under a pull of 4kg at a mean temperature of 35°C. Tape
used is of standard length at 20°C under a pull of 7kg. Cross-sectional area of tape is 0.07
sq.cm. Coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.0000116/°C. Modulus of elasticity of tape of
2x10^6 kg/sq.cm.
a. Determine the error of the tape due to change in temperature
b. Determine error due to tension
c. Determine the corrected length of the line.

Solution;
a. Determine the error of the tape due to change in temperature.

Solution;

Given: C = 0.0000116/°C, L=4761.25 m, Ts = 20°C, T= 35°C

𝑪𝑻 = 𝑪𝑳(𝑻 – 𝑻𝒔)
CT = [(0.0000116/°C) (4761.25m)] [35°C - 20°C]
CT = 0.828m

b. Determine error due to tension.

Solution;

Given: A=0.07 sq.cm, E=2x10^6 kg/sq.cm, L=4761.25 m, T= 35°C, Pm= 4kg, Ps=7kg

Cp= =
AE (0.07 sq . cm)(2 x 10 6 kg/sq . cm)
Cp= -0.1020 m
c. Determine the corrected length of the line.

L’ = L + CT – Cp
L’ = 4761.25m + 0.828m + (0.1020m)
L’ = 4761.976m

4. 15pts: The interior angles of a closed traverse were measured with the following results:
A=100°35’, B=59°52’, C=85°05’, D=70°20’, and E=213°53’. Determine the error of closure
and adjust the measured angles. Assume that the error of closure was primarily due to
accidental errors. Tabulate values accordingly.
