Question:
The roof convergence data for 30 days at a monitoring station in a coal mine gallery is given. Day Convergence reading (mm) 0 0 5 4.7 10 11.3 16 19.6 22 28.8 30 34.8
The management decides on a Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP) if the following two premises occur simultaneously.
Premise 1: Rate of convergence exceeds 1.5 mm/day between two consecutive measurements.
Premise 2: Rate of cumulative increase in convergence exceeds 1.0 mm/day.
Identify the day on which TARP is enforced in that gallery.

- A mine worker weighing (W) 600 N lifts an object of 100 N as shown. The 50% body weight is applied downward through point A and a force FE is produced parallel to x axis by the contraction of erector spinae muscle during lifting. The lumber disc, L (shown by red box) acts as a smooth hinge and keeps the upper body in static equilibrium. Ignore all other forces in the body. The magnitude of the resultant of the reaction forces, in N at the lumber disc, is____.(round off up to 2 decimals)
