Instruction: Solve the following problems, show your solutions to be credit. Put a box of your final answers.

1. A 50 m tape is 0.04 m too short used to laid out a line AB. The measured distance was known to be 130.45 m.
What is the adjusted distance of the line AB.
2. A 50 m tape was used to measure a square lot that was 0.05 m too short. If the area of the lot is 5000 m 2, what is
the error in the computed areas?
3. A man paced a 50 m line 4 times and recorded 70, 71.5, 69.5 and 72 paces to determine his pace factor. Then he
took 460, 458, 471, 457 paces in an unknown distance of a line AB. Compute the distance of line AB base on his
pace factor.
4. The distance recorded for a baseline was 430.60 using a 100 m steel tape standardized at 15ºC and with a standard
pull of 10 kg. At the time the temperature was measured to be 20ºC and the pull exerted was 16 kg. Unit weight of
steel is 7.86 g/cc and weight of steel is 2.67 kg, E = 200,000 MPa, α = 70 x 10-6 m/ºC.

5. A line was found to be 2395.25 m, when measured with a 30 m steel tape supported throughout its length under a
pull of 4 kg at a mean temperature of 35ºC. tape was of standard length at 20ºC, under a pull of 5 kg (supported
throughout its length). Tape cross-sectional area is 0.03 sq.cm. Coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.0000116/ºC.

Test II
1. A 50 m tape is 0.04 m too short used to laid out a line AB. The measured distance was known to be 130.45 m.
What is the adjusted distance of the line AB.
Solution:
Error due to Too Short = 0.04m

Correction=0.04 ( 130.45
50 )
=0.10436 m

Since the word used is “to laid out” the error due to Too Short will be add.
AB=130.45+0.10436=130.55436 m Ans.

2. A 50 m tape was used to measure a square lot that was 0.05 m too short. If the area of the lot is 5000 m 2, what is
the error in the computed areas?
Solution:

3. A man paced a 50 m line 4 times and recorded 70, 71.5, 69.5 and 72 paces to determine his pace factor. Then he
took 460, 458, 471, 457 paces in an unknown distance of a line AB. Compute the distance of line AB base on his
pace factor.
