Practice Problems - Tape Corrections

The document contains exercises related to corrections in taping measurements, including calculations for errors due to tape length discrepancies and temperature effects on tape length. It covers various scenarios such as measuring rectangular lots, runway lengths, and the impact of sag and tension on tape measurements. Each exercise requires determining correct lengths and area errors based on given conditions.

CORRECTIONS IN TAPING

Exercises:
a.) A measurement was recorded as 175.273m with a 30m tape that was only 29.995m
under standard conditions. What is the correct measurement?
b.) A rectangular lot having a dimension of 217.3m by 148.5m was measured by a 30m
tape which is 0.04m too long.
▪ Correct length of the measured line
▪ Find the error in area
▪ If the same tape is used to set a baseline with length of 837.5m, determine the actual
distance to be laid out

c.) A steel tape, known to be of standard length at 20°𝑪, is used in laying out a runway 2,500.00
m long. If it’s coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/°𝑪, determine the temperature
correction and the correct length to be laid out when the temperature is 42°𝑪.
CORRECTIONS IN TAPING

d.) A 100m tape is suspended at the ends under a pull of 12kg. It is also supported at 20m and
75m marks. If the tape weighs 2.4 kg, what is the total correction due to sag.
e.) A 30m steel tape weighing 1.45kg is pf standard length under a pull of 5kg supported for full
length. The tape was used in measuring a line 938.55m long on a smooth level ground under a
steady pull of 10kg. Assuming E = 2x106 kg/cm² and the unit weight of steel to be 7.9x10−3
kg/cm³. ▪ Determine the cross-sectional area of the tape in cm²
▪ Determine the correction for increase in tension
▪ Determine the correct length of the line measured
f.) A 50m tape weighs 0.05kg/m and is supported at its end points and at the 10m and 25m
marks. If a pulls of 7kg is applied, determine the following:
▪ Correction due to sag between 0m and 8m marks, then 8m and 25m marks, and the 25m and 50m marks.
▪ Correction due to sag for one tape length, and
▪ Correct distance between the ends of the tape
