Why is it important to read the water volume with your eye at the same level as the surface of the water?

When you look at a graduated cylinder anywhere above eye level with the surface of the liquid, it distorts the view and the number (tick mark) you identify as the volume will not be accurate.

The body's water volume is closely tied to the level of which ions?
Sodium
What is the still water level?
The horizontal surface that appears between the trough and the crest of a wave is known as the still water level. This level is also referred to as the zero energy level.
When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
What makes a water drop round instead of flat?
A water drop is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules tend to stick to each other.
When a rock is placed in a graducated cylinder containing water the height of the water will?
The height of the water will rise a level equal to the volume of the rock.
Why should volume measures always be placed on a level surface?
When measuring volumes you should always measure from the bottom of the meniscus - the surface of a volume of liquid always has a slight curve called the 'meniscus'. Since the surface of any still volume of water is not flat (it is always either a convex or concave curve), it should be measured on a level surface at eye level - bend your knees until your eyes are level with the miniscus to measure accurately.
How do you measure volume of myself?
you need to fill a bath half full. then get into the bath and go under the water. the resultant height change in the water level will reflect you volume. I would suggest that you remain under the water for at least 10mins to allow the water surface level to stablise
Why the dot of water is always sphere?
Surface tension is in equilibrium. The shape of a sphere has the highest volume to surface area to radius ratio. This shape is the lowest energy level a volume of liquid can have. Deforming it into another shape would involve an increase in surface area and an increase in the average radius.
Why is learning about volume and surface area important?
They are important concepts in math and phsyics. Surface area of a room for example tells us how much paint we need. Volume of a fish tank tells us how much water to put in. There are millions of every day applications for both these conceps in every day life and that is why there are so important.
How would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?
If the object is small enough to place into a graduated container, note the level of the water and then totally immerse the object (being careful that no air bubbles remain under it) by pushing it just below the surface. Note the difference in the water level, and calculate the volume by multiplying the difference in water level times the area of the graduated container.
Is the question the amount of water in a lake length area surface area or volume?
Volume
Does the volume of a cell grow more or less rapidly than the surface area?
volume increases faster than the surface area.
What must you look at when measuring the volume of water?
Read along the horizontal surface of the link rather than the meniscus, as shown in the diagram given by the link.
How could you find out the volume of metal in a teaspoon?
Fill a graduated container with enough water to completely submerge the spoon.Record the water level.Submerge the spoon in the water.Record the water level again.Subtract the 1st water level from the 2nd water level; the difference is the volume of the spoon.
Why does water pressure increase with surface area and fluid density?
the greater the surface the greater the volume of water thus more preassure
Why is there an upward force on objects in a fluid?
Because an object has to displace an equivalent volume to be able to sink. Say you dropped a brick into a bucket of water, brick and water cannot occupy the same space at the same time so for the brick to sink it has to "displace" or move a volume of water equal to the size of the brick. That's why when you get in the bath the water level rises - you have displaced a volume of water equal to the size of your body.
If you fill a graduated cylinder to 35 milliliters then add 4 cm cubes what will the water level be?
Volume = (height)(base)(depth)cube = all equal sideswater level = water volume + volume of cubes
