2. A portion of a medium-weight concrete masonry unit was tested for absorption and moisture content and produced the following results: mass of unit as received saturated mass of unit = 5435 g = 5776 g oven-dry mass of unit immersed mass of unit = 2973 g 5091 g Calculate the absorption in kg/m³ and the moisture content of the unit as a percent of total absorption. Does the absorption meet the ASTM C90 require- ment for absorption?
