3. A 30-m steel tape that is standardized at a temperature of 18°C and under a pull of 8 kg. The measured length of a line using this tape was 1602 m under a pull of 12 kg. The temperature during the measurement was 26°C. The tape was supported only at the ends of every 30 m length during the measurement. The tape has a cross-sectional area of 0.04 cm², Modulus of Elasticity of 2.1 x 106 kg/cm², coefficient of thermal expansion of 0.000012/°C, and a unit weight of 0.0077 kg/cm'. Determine the corrected length of the line.

Question
3. A 30-m steel tape that is standardized at a temperature of 18°C and
under a pull of 8 kg. The measured length of a line using this tape
was 1602 m under a pull of 12 kg. The temperature during the
measurement was 26°C. The tape was supported only at the ends
of every 30 m length during the measurement.
The tape has a cross-sectional area of 0.04 cm², Modulus of
Elasticity of 2.1 x 106 kg/cm², coefficient of thermal expansion of
0.000012/°C, and a unit weight of 0.0077 kg/cm³.
Determine the corrected length of the line.
