1. A tape measure 1.25 cm wide x 0.40 mm thick having an elastic modulus E = 1.6 GPa is used to measure the lake frontage of a home lot which is priced at $50,000/m of frontage. In making the measurement, the tape is pulled tight and straight with 20.0 N of force. a. What value would the tape measure indicate for an actual length of 100.0 m? (The scale marks or graduations were printed on the tape under zero load.) b. Who has the advantage due to the elasticity of the tape measure, the buyer or the seller? Explain.
