Problem 14: An underground hard rock mine operation employs a 8 -m3 skip with an 14-tonne capacity to hoist ore to the surface. The blasted ore passes through the crusher to obtain small fragment size before loading of the skip takes place. The crushed ore is moist and has the following properties: Dry bulk density = 2300 kg/m3 Water content = 16% The mine is considering running the operation without the crusher. This means that the blasted ore of considerably larger size will be loaded directly into the skip. The blasted ore is moist and has the following properties: Dry bulk density = 1750 kg/m3 Void ratio = 0.75 Degree of saturation = 22% (a) Determine the wet bulk density of the crushed ore. (b) Determine the wet bulk density of the blasted ore.

•Sam, the strawberry producer, has had complaints from the produce company that his strawberries are damaged during transit. Sam would like to know the force required to damage the strawberries if they are stacked three deep in their container. •The damage occurs on the bottom layer at the interface with the parallel surface of the container and also at the point of contact between the layers of strawberries. •An hydrostatic bulk compression test on a sample of Sam's strawberries indicates an average bulk modulus of 225 psi. Testing of specimens from Sam's strawberry crop shows a compression modulus E of 200 psi. The average strawberry diameter is 1.25 inches and the axial deformation due to the damage in transit averages 0.23 inches. The modulus of elasticity for Sam's variety of strawberries is reported to be 130 psi. •Estimate the force Sam's strawberries may be encountering during transit. (Hertz method)
