Graph paper required Special Instructions: Answer Question I and Two (2) each from Sections A and B.: Write all part of question in one place Departmen QI. (a) State and justify whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE: (Nore: mo marks will {10] be given without the justification) (i) The ratio of width of a square pillar to. width ofthe gallery can be expressed as ean be estimated as IV, /W, = x/ (I~ x) where, x=V/1=R and R= extraction ratio ) Angle of internal friction of rock can be zero degree. i) At inflection point, the slope of the subsidence curve is the maximuim: (iv) Under all circumstances, induced stresses are always more than the insitu stresses (v) The uniaxial compressive strength ofa cubic coal sample decreases with increase in its size and the UCS become constant after certain size. 2 (b) GST ofa sandstone rock mass having m= 10 is found to be 60, I'axial failure stress [4] of a cylindrical rock sample having confining stress of $ MPa is 50 MPa; determine the UCS of intact sandstone. (©) Differentiate between stress and strength.
