BRV is just the volume of the container of sand, therefore once you have the areal extent (A) and the height (h), you multiply these two to get the BRV. Programs can determine this for you depending on the tops and base picks of the sand - perhaps from logs. SeisWorks is a good example of a program that does this. Once in my MSc. class we did it by hand by actually printing a gridded map view of the reservoir, counting the blocks and finding the areal extent that way, and taking the heights from available well logs. Hope this helps

How do you calculate volume if given bulk density?

Bulk density = dry weight / volume, then by knowing the dry weight and bulk density we can calculate the volume.


How can you demonstrate ther is space between molecules of water?

Calculate volume of molecule, calculate mass of molecule, compare to bulk density. Lower bulk density indicates empty space.


What is the density of a rock if the volume is 5ml?

You need the mass and volume to calculate the density

How do you calculate the volume of an irregular object?

The volume of a solid object such as a rock or pebble can be determined by submerging it in a liquid in a graduated cylinder or other container. The difference in the volume of the liquid is the volume of the object.


How do you calculate the mass of a rock?

The mass of a rock is just how much it weighs. Density on the other hand can be found by finding the volume or size of the rock (most easily done in small objects by placing the rock into a beaker or graduated cylinder with markings to see how much water the rock displaces. Completely submerge the rock antd the increase in volume in the water is the volume of the rock). Once you know how much volume there is and how much mass there is (mass is how much it weighs) divide the mass by the volume which gives you the density. Density=Mass÷Volume


How do you find density of a rock?

The simplest way is to use the formula: P = m / V Density = mass / volume So to calculate the denisty of the rock you will have to find out how much it weighs and how much volume it occupies. You can measure the weight by placing the rock on a weighing scale, this will give the weight in grams. You can determine the volume by submerging the rock in a measuring cup partially filled with water and measuring how much the volume increases. This will give the volume in cm3 Now use the formula to calculate its density in g/cm3.

Describe how a graduated cylinder could be used to measure the volume of a rock with an irrregular shape the process must include at least three steps?

Step 1 . calculate the volume of the cylinder step 2 . put the rock in the cylinder and fill it with water to the top step 3. measure the amount of water step 4 subtract the volume of the water from the volume of the cylinder, and you have the volume of the rock.
