A $403$ gram, $46$ mm diameter by $99\mathrm{.}1$ mm long clay specimen was tested in a triaxial test. After failure, the entire specimen was dried to a constant mass of $342$ grams. Using either an assumed specific gravity of $2\mathrm{.}551$ or assuming saturation $($whichever is more appropriate$),$ FIND the actual specific gravity $(3$ decimal places$).$ The answer is NOT $1\mathrm{.}357$
