Its lw^2/24p^2.

Here W = unit wt of tape.

All the options given here are incorrect.

The formula for sag correction is,
(L/24) * (W/P)^2.

Ganesh rajgure said:   9 years ago
As per my knowledge, it is w^2l^2/24P^2.

Vatsal said:   9 years ago
Option A is right answer.

(L/24) * (WL/P)^2.

Baloch said:   9 years ago
I think its l^2 (not 3).

Correct me, If I am wrong.

Annie said:   9 years ago
Yes, you are right @Vatsal.

Bhupendra murariya said:   9 years ago
Sag correction formula (WL)^2/(24P)^2.

Abhishek Anand said:   9 years ago
Ans must be, Cs= - (w^2)*(L^3)/24(P^2) for sag correction. If the tape is standarized in catenary, But it used flat in the field the sag correction is +'ve.

The correct answer is 1/24 (W/P) L.
