Examples on Tape Corrections - Errors in Chain Surveying ...
The mass of the tape is 1.52 kilograms. Find the corrected length of the tape. Correction for sag = C s = l 1 (Mg) 2 / 24 P 2. l 1 = 50 m; M = 1.52 kilograms; P = 150 N. ~ C s = 50 x (1.52 x 9.81) 2 / 24 x 150 2 = 0.0206 m. ~ Corrected length of the tape = l – C s
