    Exercise : Profile Coordinate (M) G (Gu)

    The document describes a gravity prospecting exercise to determine if a 5m diameter tunnel located 3.5m below the ground surface is filled with water or air. Gravity measurements were taken perpendicular to the tunnel at 2m intervals from 0-40m and recorded in a table. The measurements show a gradual decrease in the gravity anomaly from 5.03gu at 0m to 1.05gu at 40m. This profile needs to account for any regional trends before evaluating if the anomaly indicates the tunnel is filled with water or air.

    Gravity Prospecting Practical Exercises 1

    Exercise ( )

    A tunnel, which can be assumed to have a circular cross section with a diameter of 5m, has
    to be investigated. The ceiling of the tunnel lies 3.5 m below the ground surface. Since the
    ground water level has risen above the tunnel one wants to investigate whether the tunnel
    was filled wis water.

    A profile made perpendicular to the tunnel gives the measured values in the table below.
    The surrounding rock (under the ground water table) has a density of 2500 kg/m³.

    Is the tunnel filled with water or air?

    Note: any regional trend has to been taken away before the anomaly can be evaluated.
