A cubic meter of dry quartz sand (Gs = 2.65) with a porosity of 60% is immersed
Question:
A cubic meter of dry quartz sand (Gs = 2.65) with a porosity of 60% is immersed in an oil bath having a density of 0.92 g/cm3. If the sand contains 0.27 m3 of entrapped air, how much force is required to prevent it from sinking? Assume that a weightless membrane surrounds the specimen. (Prof. C. C. Ladd.)?

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object has to its volume. An object with much matter in a certain volume has a high density. Density helps us predict whether something will float. In this video, the density of oil is assessed by adding food color to the oil above water.
