Question

In an opencast coal mine, blast vibrations are measured at two locations, A and B simultaneously for a maximum charge per delay (Q) of 1200 kg as given.

LocationDistance from the blast face, D (m)PPV (mm/s)
A100112.5
B30020.3

Assume the relation

PPV=K(DQ)βPPV = K \left( \frac{D}{\sqrt{Q}} \right)^{-\beta}

where, KK and β\beta are site constants. The PPV in mm/s, at a distance of 200 m from the blast face, is _____. (round off up to 2 decimals)
