A 1775g of coarse aggregates was soaked for at least 24hours prior to the  lab. It is then brought to saturated surface dry condition and weigh 1800g. The  weight of the sample+basket when submerged to water was recorded to be 1750g  and for oven dry condition sample was found to be 1700g. if the weight of the  basket is 500g, determine the specific gravity and absorption of coarse aggregates.
