Weight is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration of gravity.
Since weight is equal to the gravity acceleration times the mass, the weight of a body varies
according to the location where the weight is determined, while the mass of the body is kept
constant. On the surface of Earth, the gravitational force imparts a freely falling body an
acceleration of approximately 9.81 m/s2
This test method covers the determination of bulk density (“unit weight”) of aggregate in a
compacted or loose condition, and calculated voids between particles in fine, coarse, or mixed
aggregates based on the same determination.
For civil engineering student like us, understanding this is important because the bulk density can
also be used to determine the mass/volume conversions establishing purchase agreements.
However, the relationship between the degree of compaction of the aggregate in a transport unit
or stockpile and achieved in this method is unknown.
Furthermore, the aggregates contained in a transport unit generally contain adsorbed moisture
and surface (the latter affects the apparent density), in contrast, this test determines the
apparent density in the dry state
