Problem 2: The dimensions of a cylindrical core sample are 10.16 cm long and 3.81 cm in diameter after it was thoroughly cleaned and dried. The direct core sample weighted 365.0 g. The core sample was then completely (100%) saturated with brine that has specific gravity of 1.04. The weight of the saturated core sample is 390.0 g. Calculate the porosity of the core sample?
