Large pieces of limestone are being considered for use as slope protection stone for a harbor area. The apparent specific gravity of the rock was found to be 2.52; how much would a large rectangular piece that is 3' x 4' x 5' weight in lb? What would be its density in lbs/ft3? If diabase were used instead, with an apparent specific gravity of 2.96, what would be its mass for a piece of the same size as the limestone? Explain what would be the difference in resisting the energy of ocean waves between the specimens comprised of the different rock ty

As a source of lime, limestone is used in steel manufacturing, mining, paper production, water treatment, and plastic production. As well as being used in agriculture, lime is also used in the manufacture of glass.
