For the granite use the same ratio of 1 bag of cement to 4 headpans of sand to 8 headpans of granite so for granite reqd multiply 2 31943m3 by 4 to know the volume since it is in the ratio of 1 2 4 therefore volume of granite requires 9 27772 if we take volume of a tipper as 3 8m3 then.

Granite ˈ ɡ r æ n ɪ t is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture.
Fine aggregate 1500 to 1700 kg cu mt.
Density of granite solid is equal to 2 691 kg m in imperial or us customary measurement system the density is equal to 168 pound per cubic foot lb ft.
It is expressed in kg m3 or lb ft3 and shows compactness of building material.
In imperial or us customary measurement system the density is equal to 168 pound per cubic foot lb ft or 1 555 ounce per cubic inch oz inch.
Density of different construction materials density of construction materials are its mass per unit volume of materials.
Density is also called as unit weight of substance.
