Data (units converted by multipliers in equations)

Mass of box + bottom plate & grid + screws M1 g

Mass of top halp box + top plate & grid + screws + bearing M2 g
Mass of box + bottom plate & grid + screws + sample M3 g
Mass of specimen = (M3-M1) Ms g
Mass of hanger M4 kg
Mass added to hanger M5 kg
Plan area of failure plane = width x breadth A mm2
Effective thickness of bottom grid tb mm
Effective thickness of top grid tt mm
Depth to bottom of lower grid d1 mm
Depth to top of upper grid d2 mm
Thickness of specimen = (d1-d2-tt-tb) ts mm
Volume of specimen = tsA Vs mm3
Density of specimen = (Ms/Vs) x 103 ρs T/m3
Total force acting on shear surface = 9.8 x [(M 5+M4) + (M2+Ms/2)x10-3] N N
