16. E. Hoek and E. T. Brown (1980) introduced the empirical criterion of failure for rocks: 01.p qu where m and s are constants; = qu 1/2 - (m 0 ³ + s)' qu rock mass qu rock substance/ (a) Compare this with Equation 3.15 for the case m = 0 and s = 1. (b) Hoek and Brown, in studying many sets of data, found the following approximate values: m = 7 for carbonate rocks, m = 10 for argillaceous rocks, m= 15 for sandstone and quartzite, m = 17 for volcanic rocks, and m = 25 for granitic and other intrusive rocks. Compare the peak compressive strengths as a function of confining pressure for a marble, a rhyolite, and a granite, all having qu = 100 MPa. What is the physical meaning of parameter m?

Using the Thomas Graphical Method, the range of BOD rate constant (K) in e from the following data is estimated to be nearly.
A geologist finds a rock of unknown composition and desires to measureits density. To measure the volume, she places the rock in a cylinder,which is graduated in 0.1 mL increments, half-filled with water, so thatthe rock is submerged in the water. She removes the rock from thecylinder and directly measures the rock's mass using a scale with adigital readout resolution of 0.1 g. No information is provided from themanufacturer about the scale uncertainty. She records the volume, V,and mass, m, as follows: V = 40.5 mL, m = 143.1 g. Determine thepercent uncertainty in the density expressed with the correct number ofsignificant figures.
