Question
### Determination of Specific Gravities of Coarse Aggregate

Samples of coarse aggregate from a stockpile are brought to the laboratory for the determination of specific gravities. The following weights are found:

- **Mass of moist aggregate sample brought to the laboratory**: 5,298 g
- **Mass of oven dried aggregate**: 5,216 g
- **Mass of aggregates submerged in water**: 3,295 g
- **Mass of SSD (Saturated Surface Dry) Aggregate**: 5,227 g

**Find:**

a. The aggregate bulk dry specific gravity  
b. The aggregate apparent specific gravity  
c. The moisture content of stockpile aggregate (report as a percent)  
d. Absorption (report as a percent)  

### Explanation
These calculations are essential for understanding the physical properties of the aggregate, which in turn affect the mix design, durability, and strength of concrete structures.
