    The document contains two questions about calculating densities of materials. Question 1 asks to calculate the bulk density, apparent density, and porosity of gravel using measurements from a volumetric container filled with gravel and water. Question 2 asks to calculate the density of a material given its mass of 2400kg and volume of 1m3, where 25% of the volume is pores.

    ASSIGNMENT 1 BULDING MATERIALS 10/09/2019

    Q1) A 10L volumetric container weighing 6.2 kg has been packed with gravel by the required
    method, and then the total weight is 2 1.3 kg. Calculate the bulk density of gravel. If water is
    filled into the container, the total weight becomes 25.9kg after 24 hours. Calculate the
    apparent density and porosity of the gravel.

    Q2) A material has a volume of 1 m3 and a mass of 2400kg in natural state. The volume of its
    pores accounts for 25%. Calculate its density.
