A Pycnometer used in a specific gravity test was found to have a mass of 524 g when empty and 1557 g when full of clean water. An air dried sample of cohesionless soil having a mass of 512 g was placed in the jar and stirred to expel and entrapped air. The pycnometer was than carefull filled with clean water, when it had a total mass of 1878 g. Determine the specific gravity of the soil.
