1. Three samples of rock were subjected to diametral point load tests. The pressure gauge
readings at rupture were 250, 700, and 1800 psi. If the ram (cone) area was 2.07 in 2, and
diameter of the cores tested was 54 mm, calculation point load strength index (I s50) and an
estimate for the unconfined compressive strength of each rock.

2. A red sandstone core composed of quartz and feldspar grains with calcite cement is 82 mm in
diameter and 169 mm long. On saturation in water, its wet weight is 21.42 N; after oven
drying its weight is 20.31 N. Calculate its wet unit weight, its dry unit weight, and its
porosity.
