A steel surveyor’s tape has a cross-sectional area of 0.004 in2. To provide adequate tension during measuring, it is stretched with a pull of 16 lb. Steel has a modulus of elasticity of 29 000 000 lb/in2. Approximate how much the 100-ft-long tape will stretch when under this tensile force. Neglect the weight of the tape.
