62.5 Ib/ft²
90.5 Ib/ft^3
100 lb/ft^3
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The specific weight, also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a material. A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C, which is 9.807 kN/m² or 62.5 Ibf/ft².
288. Geologically marble is known as- [PPA-19]
Sedimentary rock
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Stratified rock

289. Which of the following is an example of silicious rock? [MES-18]
granite
gneiss
quartzite
all of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The rocks which contain silica in predominant amount are called as siliceous rocks. Presence of a large amount of free sillca makes them harden and durable. Granite, greiss, quartzite, chert. etc. are example of siliceous rocks.
