Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sag Correction: 4.271 Meter --> 4.271 Meter No Conversion Required
Pull on Tape: 8 Newton --> 8 Newton No Conversion Required
Weight of Tape per Unit Length: 3 Kilogram per Meter --> 3 Kilogram per Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

U_l = ((24*C_s*P^2)/(W^2))^(1/3) --> ((24*4.271*8^2)/(3^2))^(1/3)

Evaluating ... ...

U_l = 8.99965979509633

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.99965979509633 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8.99965979509633 ≈ 8.99966 Meter <-- Unsupported Length

What is Unsupported Length of Tape?

Unsupported Tape Length when Sag Correction Between Points of Support is the length of tape when it is not supported along its length will sag and form a catenary between end supports. The correction due to sag must be calculated separately for each unsupported stretch separately, there in which measured length is called Unsupported length of Tape.

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.

How to Calculate Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support?

Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support calculator uses Unsupported Length = ((24*Sag Correction*Pull on Tape^2)/(Weight of Tape per Unit Length^2))^(1/3) to calculate the Unsupported Length, The Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction Between Points of Support formula is defined as the length between the two ends of the catenary in meters or feet. Unsupported Length is denoted by U_l symbol.

How to calculate Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support, enter Sag Correction (C_s), Pull on Tape (P) & Weight of Tape per Unit Length (W) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Unsupported Tape Length given Sag Correction between Points of Support calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8.99966 = ((24*4.271*8^2)/(3^2))^(1/3).
