A sandstone rock specimen is 82 mm in diameter and 169 mm long whose mineralogic structure is composed of quarts and feldspar grains with calcite cement. At saturated state, its wet weight is 21.42 N; after oven drying its weight is 20.31 N. Calculate its wet unit weight, its dry unit weight (both in kN/m³), and its porosity
