The specific weights of several materials are, given in U.S. Customary units. Convert these to specific weights in SI units (kN/m3), and also compute the densities of these materials in SI units (kg/m3).

(a)  Zinc die casting alloy, γ = 0.242 lb/in.3.


(b) Oil shale (30 gal/ton rock), γ = 133 lb/ft3.


(c)  Styrofoam (medium density), γ =2.0 lb/ft3.


(d) Silica glass, γ = 0.079 lb/in3.
