    d) 0.991lbf

    Explanation:

    the property known as specific gravity is the relationship between the density of the fluid and the density of the water, so to find the density of the rock we must multiply the specific gravity by the density of the water = 1000kg / m ^ 3, when we have the density we must multiply it by volume and gravity to find the weight.

    W=2.5ρVg

    ρ=Density of water=1000kg / m ^ 3

    V=0.00018 m^3

    g=9.81m/s^2

    W = (2.5) (1000) (0.00018) (9.81)

    W=4.41N=0.991lbf
