Question: A 3 6 6 gram, 4 9 m m diameter by 9 4 . 6 m m long clay specimen was tested in a triaxial

A 366 gram, 49mm diameter by 94.6mm long clay specimen was tested in a triaxial test. After failure, the entire specimen was dried to a constant mass of 348 grams. Using either an assumed specific gravity of 2.567 or assuming saturation (whichever is more appropriate), FIND the actual specific gravity (3 decimal places).
