Sample Questions

Question 1
In the Salamon-Munro coal pillar strength formula S = 7.18 * (w^0.46 / h^0.66), what units must be used for pillar width (w), pillar height (h), and the resulting strength (S)?
w and h in meters (m), S in Megapascals (MPa)
w and h in feet (ft), S in pounds per square inch (psi)
w and h in meters (m), S in Kilopascals (kPa)
w and h in millimeters (mm), S in Megapascals (MPa)
Question 2
Calculate the Salamon-Munro pillar strength for a square coal pillar with width w = 16 m and mining height h = 4 m. (Use S = 7.18 * (w^0.46 / h^0.66)).
10.30 MPa
14.50 MPa
7.18 MPa
18.25 MPa
