The length of the survey line was measured with a 30 m tape and was found to be 1000 m. As a check, the length was again measured with another 20 m tape, and was found to be 1010 m. On comparing the 30 m tape with a test gauge, it was found to be 0.10 m too long. Find the actual length of the 20 m chain.
