All concepts →A 30 m long tape is standardized at 25 °C. It was used to measure the length of a line which came out to be 200 m. The temperature during the measurement was 35°C. The coefficient...
A line between stations P and Q laid on a slope of 1 in 5 was measured as 350 m using a 50 m tape. The tape is known to be short by 0.1 m. The corrected horizontal length (in m) of...
