Downward force is 4000 kg and rotational force is 3000 kg. Contact surface area (cross sectional area) is 100 cm2. Also, the rock sample (diameter: 20 cm) is tested by a uniaxial compressive strength machine and the sample was cracked at 30000 kg. Answer the following questions: a. Find the resultant force acting on the rock formation. b. Find the bearing strength of the rock drilled.
