LAYING OUT DISTANCES. A Steel Tape Whose Nominal Length Is Supposed

The steel tape used to measure distances for a parking lot layout was found to be 0.02 m too long during standardization. To account for this, 0.02 m should be subtracted from the intended 850 m length and 520 m width. This yields actual dimensions for the parking lot layout of 849.43 m in length and 519.65 m in width.

12. LAYING OUT DISTANCES.

A steel tape whose nominal length is supposed


to be 30 m long was found to be 30.02 m long when compared with an invar tape
during standardization. If the tape is to be used in laying out a 520 m by 850 m
rectangular parking lot, determine the actual dimensions to be laid out.

Given:

L = 850m c = -0.02 m

W= 520m NL = 30 m

Required:

The actual dimensions to be laid out, L’ and W’

Illustration:

850 m

520 m
Solution:

𝐿′ = 𝐿 − 𝐶 𝑊′ = 𝑊 − 𝐶
𝐿 𝑊
𝐶=𝑐𝑥 𝐶=𝑐𝑥
𝑁𝐿 𝑁𝐿

850𝑚 520𝑚
𝐶 = 0.02𝑚 𝑥 ( 30𝑚 ) 𝐶 = 0.02𝑚 𝑥 ( 30𝑚 )

𝐶 = 0.567 𝑚 𝐶 = 0.346 𝑚

𝐿′ = 850𝑚 − 0.567𝑚 𝑊 ′ = 520𝑚 − 0.346𝑚

𝑳′ = 𝟖𝟒𝟗. 𝟒𝟑 𝒎 𝑾′ = 𝟓𝟏𝟗. 𝟔𝟓 𝒎
