Fine aggregate sample was tested to find its physical properties. The test results were as follows: Bulk specific gravity= 2.45, Apparent specific gravity= 2.5, mass of the vessel full of water = 1300 gm, mass of the vessel plus sand and topped up with water= 1500 gm, mass in wet condition 518 gm. Calculate 1- absorption% 2- moisture content% 3- Bulk density 4- Apparent density
