Question

Why would you not like to use a measuring tape made of an elastic material like
rubber to measure distance? What would be some of the problems you would
meet in telling someone about a distance you measured with such a tape?
​

Answer 1

Answer: We cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distances as it does not have a fixed length. Elastic tape can be streched and does not show correct readings. The stretched length is not constant and varies with the applied force to stretch the elastic tape.

Answer 2

Answer:

due to elasticity it can strech more than the actual distance thus not being accurate
