. From petrographic analysis, an igneous rock was found to be composed of a mixture of 30% quartz, 35% plagioclase, and 35% pyroxene whose specific gravity are 2.65, 2.7, and 3.3, respectively. If the dry unit weight of rock is 26 kN/m³, determine the porosity and wet (saturated) unit weight of rock.
