2. Ten point load tests are carried out on cylindrical specimens of a sedimentary rock with 30 mm diameter, as shown in the figure. 50 mm The failure loads of these tests are equal to: 3.2, 4.1, 3, 3.8, 2.9, 4.2, 3.5, 3.6, 3.5 and 4 kiloNewtons. Determine Is(50) of this rock. Predict the uniaxial compressive strength of this rock.
