2(c) A line was measured with steel tape which was exactly 30m at a pull of 5kg and measured length 229.62m. The pull applied during measurement was 10kg and the tape was uniformly supported. Find the true length of line if the cross- sectional area of tape was 0.02cm 2and modulus of elasticity of tape material = 2.1×105 kg/cm2.
