Solve the following problems legibly and accurately.

1. The taped distance of a line was 99.812 m using a 100m steel tape weighing 2 kg at a pull of 10 kg and temp of
32°C. The difference in eleva on between the end points is 45cm. The tape is exactly 100m at a temp of 28°C and
standard pull of 10 kg. If the coefficient of expansion of the tape is 0.0000118/°C and the tape was supported at
the ends and at 25m interval during measurement find the correct horizontal distance of the line.
2. A 100 m tape is suspended at the ends under a pull of 15 kg. It has also supports at 30 m and 75 m marks. What is
the total correc on due to sag if the tape weighs 2.4 kg?
3. The line of sight of a wye level was tested by se ng up exactly midway between two points A and B. The rod
reading on A was 1.520 and at B was 1.395. The instrument was next set up at B and rod readings A and B are
1.683 and 1.490 respec vely.
a. What is the error in the line of sight?
b. Determine the true rod reading at A that will make the line of sight horizontal.
