3. Calculate the porosity of the sample described below: \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { Dry sample mass } & 104.1 \mathrm{~g} \\ \text { Mass of water-saturated sample } & 120.2 \mathrm{~g} \\ \text { Density of water } & 1.001 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm} 3 \\ \text { Mass of saturated sample immersed in water } & 64.7 \mathrm{~g}\end{array} \) Is this effective porosity or the total porosity of the sample? What is the most probable lithology of the matrix material? Explain why?

Step 1
First, we need to find the volume of the water-saturated sample. To do this, we can use the mass of the saturated sample immersed in water and the density of water. Volume of water-saturated sample = (Mass of water-saturated sample - Mass of saturated sample Show more…

The flexural strength and associated volume fraction porosity for two specimens of the same ceramic material are as follows: (a) Compute the flexural strength for a completely nonporous specimen of this material. (b) Compute the flexural strength for a 0.20 volume fraction porosity.
The modulus of elasticity for spinel $\left(\mathrm{MgAl}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)$ having 5 vol\% porosity is $240 \mathrm{GPa}$ $\left(35 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}\right)$ (a) Compute the modulus of elasticity for the nonporous material. (b) Compute the modulus of elasticity for 15 vol\% porosity.
A synthetic fiber used in manufacturing carpet has tensile strength that is normally distributed with mean 75.5 psi and standard deviation 3.5 psi. Find the probability that a random sample of $n=6$ fiber specimens will have sample mean tensile strength that exceeds 75.75 psi.
