From know source formula of sag correction is = lw^2/24p^2.

The weight here is w/m while in formula its w only thus;
SAG correction = l(w*l)^2/24p^2 ( To cancel meters of weight).
Thus option A is right.

@All.

The Formula for correction for sag is= (w^2L^3)/24P^2.
Where w= weight of the tape in N/m.

And
w=W/L.
where W= weight of the tape in N.
Therefore above formula can also be written as;
Correction= (W^L)/24P^2.

It's is W^2l/24p^2.

Anuj kumar said:   7 years ago
It is w^2l^2/24p^2.

@Kaweri and @Vishal.

You both are correct. The correct answer is w^2L^2/24P^2.

Vishal said:   7 years ago
It is W^2l^2/24p^2.

Its lw^2/24p^2.

L x (mg x l ) *2/ 24p*2 is original formula.

Reference book TP Kanetkar page 13.

Mg is equal to W so L*3 W*2/ 24P*2 is the answer.

A is correct.
W is udl,
W=wl.

I think formula is w2l2/24p2 not l3.
