    A survey was conducted with a 60 m chain and plan of the field was drawn to a scale of 1
    cm = 5 m. The area of the plan was found to be 82.8 cm 2. However, when the chain was tested
    at the end of work, it was wound to be 30 m. Assuming the length was exactly 40 m in the
    beginning of survey work, determine the true area of the field
    Initial length of the chain = 30 m
    (Sources: https://www.civilengineeringx.com/surveying/tape-corrections/)

    Length of the work = 30 m

    Average length of chain


    =
    =45 m

    Average correction per chain length


    = 45 – 30
    =15 m

    Measured area on plan = 82.8 cm2


    Scale 1m = 5m

    Measure area on field = 82.8 x 52


    =2070 m2

    Corrected area on the ground


    =A2
    = 2070 2
    =4657.5 m2
    PROBLEMS NO. 8
    Calculate sag correction for a 50 m steel tape under a pull of 100 N if it is suspended in
    three equal spans. Unit weight of steel is 89.6 kN/m3. Area of cross-section of tape is 10 mm.
    Length of each span = 20 m
    (Sources: https://www.civilengineeringx.com/surveying/tape-corrections/)

    W= wt. tape per span length


    = 89.6 x 20 x (10 x 10-6)
    =0.0179 x 10-6 kN
    =0.0179 N

    P= 100 N L= 20m

    Correction for each span


    = (2 x 20
    =2.670 x 10-8 m

    Correction for three spans


    = 3 x 2.670 x 10-8 m
    =8.010 x 10-8 m
