Question 1

What is the formula for calculating theoretical specific gravity?

  • A: G_t = (W1 + W2 + W3 + Wb) / (W1/G1 + W2/G2 + W3/G3 + Wb/Gb)
  • B: G_m = W_m / (W_m – W_w)
  • C: V_v = (G_t - G_m) / G_t * 100

💡 Hint: Look for the formula that accounts for weights and specific gravities.

Question 2

True or False: The bulk specific gravity value is affected by air voids.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how density is impacted by gaps.
