A specimen of shale has a mass of 17.25 g dry and 22.24 g wet. The volume of the specimen is 12.15 cm3. What is the porosity of the shale?
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) does it need to be? You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3
