Sie please explain this

can Where, n is porosity, V v is volume of voids and V is the total volume. The porosity of rocks can be determined by drying the sample to a constant weight and reweighing it after saturation with water The volume of water absorbed can be calculated from the following equation: 100x W -W XD n V Where, n is porosity, Ws saturated weight, WD dry weight, V volume and D density. During natural formation of rock pores, voids and interstices develop. Such originally developed porosity
