Q.47: A spherical body with its center located at depth of 1040 m gives a symmetric residual gravity anomaly high with Δgmax=5.2 m Gal. If the same anomaly were to be obtained over a 2-D horizontal cylinder, the depth to the center of the horizontal cylinder (in m) is........




Solution:




Sphere, the gravity anomaly

The depth to the center of the spherical body is

z= 0.62 X1/2 ( full width)

z= 1.3 x1/2 ( half -width)

z= 1040 m for a spherical body

half-width (x1/2)= 1040 /1.3

                        = 800 m



For a 2-D horizontal cylinder,

Depth to the center of the body

z= 0.5 X1/2 (full width)

z= x1/2 (half width)

The same anomaly were to be obtained over a 2-D horizontal cylinder, the depth to the center of the horizontal cylinder

z= x1/2

x1/2 for a spherical body = 800 m

z= 800 m

  1. The gravity anamoli over a vertical rod(extending down to infinity) buried a depth of 100m is 20 mgal.If the rod is buried at a depth of 50m,the gravity anomaly would be
    A. 15mgal B. 10 mgal C. 40mgal 4. 80 mgal
