A meniscus by definition isn't flat, but it has a curve instead, and the bottom of the curve is the actual volume of the liquid in the container.
Yes, a flask can have a meniscus. The meniscus refers to the curvature of the liquid surface in response to the container's shape. A flask with a narrow neck can exhibit a concave or convex meniscus, depending on the liquid it contains.
Meniscus.
The two types of meniscus shape are concave and convex. Concave meniscus has a curved surface where the edges dip below the center, like in a test tube. Convex meniscus has a curved surface where the edges rise above the center, like in a droplet of water on a surface.
A meniscus finder is typically used to assist in identifying the bottom of the meniscus, or the curved surface of the liquid, when reading the volume in a burette during titration. By making it easier to spot the meniscus, the meniscus finder helps ensure more accurate volume readings.
If the colored liquid is opaque (you can't see through it) you can't see the bottom of the meniscus. If the liquid is like mercury, you can't see through it but it doesn't make any difference because the meniscus is reverse from that of water. You read the top.
You do not see a meniscus in Diagram C, as the liquid surface is flat and level with no curvature at the edges.
Do you mean is a meniscus always concave? If so, then no. For example, the meniscus of mercury is convex.
it is important to keep the graduated cylinder on a flat surface when reading the meniscus so that your groogies dont escape and so that the results are good
To properly read the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, look at the bottom of the meniscus at eye level. Make sure the surface of the liquid forms a curve due to surface tension. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve for an accurate measurement.
A meniscus, but whether it has a positive curve or a negative one depends on whether it wets the glass.

The curvature that forms when water molecules stick to the side of a graduated cylinder at the liquid-air interface is known as the meniscus. This curvature occurs due to surface tension and adhesive forces between the water molecules and the glass surface, causing the water level to either rise (concave meniscus) or fall (convex meniscus) compared to a flat surface.
Water's meniscus curves up. Mercury's meniscus curves down.
You measure from the bottom curve of the meniscus.
