Example $3\mathrm{.}4$: In a specific gravity test, the following observation were made:

Weight of dry soil

:$,1\mathrm{.}04N$

Weight of bottle $+$ soil $+$ water

:$,5\mathrm{.}38N$

Weight of bottle $+$ water

:$,4\mathrm{.}756N$

What is the specific gravity of soil solids. If$,$ while obtaining the weight $5\mathrm{.}38N,3ml$ of

air remained entrapped in the suspension, will the computed value of $G$ be higher or lower

than the correct value? Determine also the percentage error.
