Pull-on Tape given Sag Correction between Points of Support Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pull on Tape = sqrt((-Weight of Tape per Unit Length^2*Unsupported Length^3)/(24*Sag Correction))
P = sqrt((-W^2*U_l^3)/(24*C_s))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Pull on Tape - (Measured in Newton) - Pull on Tape is the tension or pull applied to the tape in newtons (N).
Weight of Tape per Unit Length - (Measured in Kilogram per Meter) - Weight of Tape per Unit Length is a measurement used in surveying to determine weight of measuring tape over a certain distance and is used to calculate tension and sag of tape during measurements.
Unsupported Length - (Measured in Meter) - Unsupported Length is the span or distance between supports or points of restraint for a structural member, such as a beam or a column.
Sag Correction - (Measured in Meter) - Sag Correction is the adjustment of optical elements to counteract deformation, maintaining proper shape for optimal performance in imaging systems.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Tape per Unit Length: 3 Kilogram per Meter --> 3 Kilogram per Meter No Conversion Required
Unsupported Length: 9 Meter --> 9 Meter No Conversion Required
Sag Correction: 4.271 Meter --> 4.271 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = sqrt((-W^2*U_l^3)/(24*C_s)) --> sqrt((-3^2*9^3)/(24*4.271))

Evaluating ... ...

How does the Temperature Correction Affect the Accuracy of Surveying measurements?

Temperature correction can significantly affect the accuracy of surveying measurements. Without temperature correction, the measurements can be off by a few millimetres or even centimetres, depending on the temperature difference. By applying temperature correction, surveyors can ensure that their measurements are accurate and reliable.

What is Sag Correction?

A tape correction applied to the apparent length of a level base line to counteract the sag in measuring tape (i.e., the difference between the horizontal distance between supports and the length measured along the curve.) The correction due to sag must be calculated separately for each unsupported stretch separately. Hence the correction is taken to be negative.
