Question: A 4 3 8 gram, 4 2 . 2 m m diameter by 9 8 . 8 m m long clay specimen was tested in

A 438 gram, 42.2mm diameter by 98.8mm long clay specimen was tested in a triaxial test. After failure, the entire specimen was dried to a constant mass of 352 grams. Using either an assumed specific gravity of 2.551 or assuming saturation (whichever is more appropriate), FIND the actual specific gravity (3 decimal places).
