Question 1133584
the reference is the maximum density of water which is equal to 1 gram per cubic centimeter.


granite has a specific gravity of 2.8 which means it's density is 2.8 times the density of the reference.


that would indicate that the density of granite is equal to 2.8 grams per cubic centimeter.


you have a piece of granite that measures 1 cubic yard.


1 cubic yard is equal to 764555 cubic centimeters.


if there were no voids, the granite would weigh 2.8 grams per cubic centimeter * 764555 cubic centimeters = 2140754 grams.


since there are 40% void spaces in the granite, then the net weight of the granite would be .6 * 2.8 * 764555 = 1284452.4 grams.


that's what i think it would be based on the factors that i was able to research through the web plus what was given.
