Gs=W0/((W0+(Wa-Wb),
W0=Weight of sample of oven dry soil,
Wa=weight of pycnometer filled with water,
Wb=weight of pycnometer filled with water and soil.
W0=Weight of sample of oven dry soil,
Wa=weight of pycnometer filled with water,
Wb=weight of pycnometer filled with water and soil.

Let,
empty weight of pycnometer = W1
empty weight of pycnometer + dry soil = W2
empty weight of pycnometer + dry soil + water = W3
empty weight of pycnometer + water = W4
sp.gr = (W2-W1)/(W3-W4).
Here wt of dry sample should be 200g.
empty weight of pycnometer = W1
empty weight of pycnometer + dry soil = W2
empty weight of pycnometer + dry soil + water = W3
empty weight of pycnometer + water = W4
sp.gr = (W2-W1)/(W3-W4).
Here wt of dry sample should be 200g.

G = 200/(200-(1600-1500)) = 2.

Gs = 200/(1500-(1600-200)) = 2.

Dry weight should be 200g.
g = (200/(200-(1600-1500)) = 2.
g = (200/(200-(1600-1500)) = 2.
