What word is used for the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
It is called a MENISCUS caused by capillary action betweem the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the container, and resulting from surface tension within the liquid. In addition: Adhesion: Making one material adhere to another.
When measuring out a liquid in a graduate th upper surface of the liquid is called?
the meniscus
What is the free surface of liquids?
it is because a liquid is bounded by 3sides .thus it has only the upper free surface.
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
no its made out of solid rock but there is some liquid rock too called magma.
What is the chemical definition of meniscus?
It is from the Greek meaning crescent. When you measure the volume of water (or similar liquid) in a measuring cylinder, if you look carefully you will notice the surface water level is not perfectly flat. It will be curved, this is called the meniscus. To accurately measure the volume you must look at the meniscus at eye level and take the reading at the bottom of the meniscus. The meniscus occurs because water is attracted to the glass/plastic. All equipment that is intended to measure volume will take into account the meniscus, as long as you take your reading with the meniscus at eye level. The measurement must be done at eye level in order to ensure no parallax error. NOTE mercury's meniscus is convex rather than concave, as it is not attracted the glass/plastic.
What is called when measuring a liquid in a container and you have a parabola at the top of liquid in the container?
The curved upper surface of a column of liquid is called a "meniscus".

What does the word menicus?
It seems like "menicus" might be a misspelling. Did you mean "meniscus," which is the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
What do you call the curved upper surface of water that commonly appears when using graduated cylinders?
This is called meniscus.
What is the free surface of liquids?
it is because a liquid is bounded by 3sides .thus it has only the upper free surface.
What is the upper surface of groundwater?
The upper surface of groundwater is called the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated upper surface contains water, as well as spaces of air, particle grains and rocks.
The curve on top of a wing of an airplane is?
Its called an airfoil. Its what gives the plane lift during flight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An airfoil is the totality of the wing. There are various designs of airfoils. One such design was of a wedge shape, which is contrary to the accepted design of the curved upper surface. The basic airfoil includes the upper curved surface of the wing, the bottom flat or less curved surface of the wing, the cord thickness and total wing span. I had given a more thorough lay explanation of how lift is produced, but for some reason that explanation was removed. Go figure? My past background is as a flight instructor/mechanic/cropduster pilot.
