According to Pycnometer method, the specific gravity of soil solids (G) is given by

[ $M_{1}$ = Mass of Pycnometer, $M_{2}$ = Mass of Pycnometer and dry soil, $M_{3}$ = Mass of Pycnometer, soil solids and water, $M_{4}$ = Mass of Pycnometer and water]

- 1
  
  $G = \frac{M_{1} + M_{2}}{M_{1} - M_{2} + M_{3} - M_{4}}$
- 2
  
  $G = \frac{M_{1} + M_{3}}{M_{1} + M_{2} - M_{3} - M_{4}}$
- 3
  
  $G = \frac{M_{2} - M_{1}}{M_{2} + M_{4} - M_{1} - M_{3}}$
- 4
  
  $G = \frac{M_{1} + M_{2}}{M_{2} + M_{4} - M_{1} - M_{3}}$
