Cs=w2L3/24P2 (1) full tape length
Since W=wL or W2=w2L2, and substituting this to (1), we obtain:
Cs= W2L/24p2 (2) length at every support
Where:
Cs= correction due to sag or the difference between the tape reading and the horizontal distance between supports (m)
w= weight of tape per unit length (kg/m)
W= total weight of tape between supports (kg)
L= interval between supports or the unsupported length of tape (m)
P= tension or pull applied on the tape (kg)

A subtense bar 2.00 meters long is set up near the middle of two lines A-B. Using a theodolite set up at point A, the angle subtended reads 00025’30”. At point B, the angle reads 000 23’15”. Find the distance A-B.
Given: 𝜙A = 000 25’30” 𝜙B = 00023’15”
DA =unknown
DB = unknown
DA-B = DA + DB
Solution: DA = 1 ÷ tan 𝜙/2
DA = 1 ÷ tan 00025’30”/2
DA = 269.62 meters Answer
DB = 1 ÷ tan 00023’15”/2
DB = 295.72 meters Answer
DA-B = 269.62 m + 295.72 m
DA-B = 565.34 m Answer
A slope distance is measured with a steel tape and found to be 1240.32 ft. If the vertical angle is measured with a theodolite and found to be 3027’, what is the horizontal distance?
Given: 𝜙 = 3027’ s= 1240.32 ft
D = unknown
Solution: d= s x cos𝜙
d = 1240.32 ft x cos 3027’
d= 1238.07 ft Answer
A 50 m. steel tape is used to measure a line which was found to be 532.28 meters long when the temperature was 350 centigrade. Determine the following:
a). Temperature correction per tape length.
b). Temperature correction for the measured line
c). Correct length of the line.
Note: When MEASURING, the correction is ADDED when tape is TOO LONG
When LAYING OUT, the correction is SUBTRACTED when tape is TOO LONG.
Given: T= 350C Ts = 200C C= 0.0000116 /0C L = 50 m. L =532.28m
Solution:
Ct = CL ( T –Ts)
Ct = (0.0000116 /0C) ( 50m) (350C – 200C)
Ct = +0.0087 m (Correction per tape length. Positive sign indicates that tape is too long) Answer
b.) Ct = (0.0000116 /0C) (532.28m) (350C – 200C)
Ct’ = + 0.0926m. (Correction for the measured line) Answer
c.) L’= L Ct’
L’ = 532.28 + 0.0926
L’ = 532.37 m (Correct length of the measured line. The correction is added since the tape is too long) Answer
A 30-m tape is supported only at its end and under a steady pull of 8 kg. If the tape weighs 0.91 kg, determine the sag correction and the correct distance between the ends of the tape.
Given: L=30 m.
P= 8 kg.
W= 0.91 kg.
Required: Sag Correction (cs)
Solution: Cs= W2 L / 24p2
Cs= (0.91)2 (30) / 24 (8)2
Cs= 0.0162 m. (correction due to sag between the end supports)
L’= L - Cs
L’= 30 m. – 0.0162 m
L’= 29.9838 m. (Correct distance beween the ends of the tape) Answer
