A rotameter with float shape type "B" (see figure below) has a tube of 0.3 m long. The internal diameter of the rotameter is 25 mm at the top and 20 mm at the bottom. The diameter of the float is 20 mm, its density is 5100 kg/m³ and its volume is 5.0 cm³. What is the mass flow rate of water (at 25 °C)when the float position is 0.2 m from the bottom of the tube?
