When using a graduated cylinder you measure the level of the water from the bottom point of the curve what is it called?
a meniscus
Explain Why is the surface of water in a graduated cylinder curved?
it is probably called figure it out, it is curved because glass is sticky. When you measure the volume from a graduated cylinder, measure at the bottom of it. It is called the meniscus.
What bottom of the liquid line in a cylinder is called?
its called a meniscus
What is a glass cylinder that has no top or bottom called?
circles
What is Piston movement from top to bottom of the cylinder called?
Stroke
What is the base of a cylinder called?
The base of a cylinder is called a circular base. It is a flat, circular surface that forms the top and bottom of the cylinder.
What are the three faces of a cylinder called?
a cylinder has only two faces- the top and bottom sorry if this didnt help you
Why is it called the longhouse?
it is kinda like a cylinder except turn the cylinder sideways and then make the bottom flat.
Does a cylinder have flat surfaces?
Yes - those that are conventionally called the "top" and "bottom".
What is the the bottom of a curved line in a graduated cylinder?
The "bottom of a curved line" made by the liquid in a graduated cylinder could be called the "measuring line" or "reference line" in the application of that piece of labratory equipment. The curved surface of the liquid itself is called the meniscus, and we look to the bottom of the meniscus to make our reading as to the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder. The liquid in the cylinder "grabs" the sides of the cylinder and "pulls itself up" just a bit, and that creates the curve in the surface of the liquid. And that curve, the meniscus (which is from the Greek word for crescent), leaves us with a problem: where do we "read" the volume marked off by the graduations along the side of the cylinder? And the answer is, "At the bottom of the meniscus."
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
Should the pontoon floating cylinder have water in it?
In a word... No! if they are getting water in them, they have a leak.. Too much water, and Bye Bye Boat to the bottom of the lake!
