Download Solution PDFConcept:
\(l={l}'\times \left[ \frac{{{L}'}}{L} \right]\)
Where,
l = true length of the line
l’ = measured length of a line
L = true length of chain/tape
L’ = Incorrect length of chain/tape
Calculation:
l’= 348.28 m
L = 20 m
as a chain is 0.05 m too short,
L’ = 19.95 m
\(\therefore l=348.28\times \left[ \frac{19.95}{20} \right]~\)
l = 347.409 m
