A suspension of calcium carbonate particles in water flows through a pipe. An engineer was asked to determine both the flow rate and the composition of this slurry. The engineer proceeded to collect the stream in a graduated cylinder for a time given in the table below. The engineer weighed the cylinder, evaporate the collected water, and reweighed the cylinder. The following results are obtained based on two occasion
