A 30 m strip of steel measures 30,006 m when normalized at 20°C and supported over its entire length under a tension of 5,500 kg-force. The ribbon weighs 1.24 kg, and has a section of 0.030 cm2. What is the corrected horizontal length of a measured distance AB of 26.798 m, at a temperature of 30°C, under a tension of 7.2 kg-force, supported at the extremities only.
