The relationship between density and porosity is an indirect proportionality.That is, the higher the density of a rock, the lower will be the porosity of that rock.In a more explicit way, the weight of over-lying rocks increase the density of the rock beneath, which in turn decreases the amount of pore spaces (porosity) of the rock through processes such as compaction, cementation, etc. Posted by Nwigwudu Ikechukwu.

How can porosity be measured?
Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.
What does porosity mean in ceramics?
A volume fraction of a material that is empty, or without material.
Do forces relate with gravity If so how do they relate?
Gravity is a force
What is submerged density of soil?
The unit weight of submerged soil: Submerged Density (kN/m3) = Saturated Density - Water Density Water Density = 9.81 kN/m3
An object will float if?
density of the object < density of the fluid
What is the relationship between porosity bulk density and particle density?
If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).Porosity is not affected by particle size.
What are type of foods that have significant and application of solid density bulk density and porosity?
for beans
Does the soil porosity increase as the depth increases?
Bulk density generally increases with soil depth due to increasing pressure from the soil column above. Porosity is inversely related to bulk density, thus porosity should decrease as soil depth increases.
What is the relationship between bulk density and porosity?
A value for porosity can alternatively be calculated from the bulk density ρbulk and particle density ρparticle: Normal particle density is assumed to be approximately 2.65 g/cm3, although a better estimation can be obtained by examining the lithology of the particles.
What is marked loss of bone density and an increase in bone porosity is known as?
Osteoporosis
What are some physical properties of rock?
Density, porosity, fracture, mineralogy, hardness, and texture.
How does size relate to density?
Density = Mass/Volume or mass/size.
How do you find porosity of a soil when all you are given is the dry density and the particle density of the soil.. and can you find bulk density with just this info?
Concerning the second Question: "Can you find bulk density with just this info?"Purely on mathematical insight and analysis:Yes, you should be able to find the bulk density of dry soil, given the 'dry overall' and the 'particle' densities.When wet, there is not enough 'given'Also some should be known about the (or your) definition of porosity
What factors affect porosity?
The larger the particle size, the higher the porosity. Also keep in mind that angular particles have a higher porosity than round particles. *Good way to remember porosity is that the spaces between particles are "pore-like."
Does density relate to how heavy an object is?
No . Mass
phisical properties of stone?
Structure. Texture. Density. Appearance. Strength. Hardness. Percentage Wear. Porosity and Absorption.
Object A is half the size of B The density of A when compared to B is?
size does not relate to density
