When it comes to protecting coastlines from erosion, rocks are sometimes used as a barrier. In order for a rock to not be shifted by waves, it must weigh 1,000 kilograms (approximately 1 ton). How big (what volume) does the rock need to be? You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3.
What is the shear deformation in m?
Rocks are sometimes used along coasts to prevent erosion. If a rock needs to weigh 2,000 kilograms (about 2 tons) in order not to be shifted by waves, how big (what volume in inches) does it need to be? You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3.
