Samples show that the platinum is only 500m below the surface. An international and South African company joint venture company, called Platinum Stars, has decided to invest money in this project. They want to sink a shaft to the 500m point to take a few samples. They will decide on the best mining method.  \nYour engineering company wants to submit a tender for the construction of the shaft headgear. The headgear must be able to transport miners and equipment 500m  \nunderground. It must also be able to lift platinum ore that weighs10ton back up to the  \nsurface.  \nMINI PAT  \nTERM 3 GRADES 8  \nTOTAL 70  \nACTIVITY 1 (INVESTIGATION SKILLS)  \nINVESTIGATION: Mine shaft headgear, head frame and winch  \nUse the above picture and your own information to answer the following questions bellow:  \n1.
