Meniscus.
meniscus
Liquids take the shape of their container due to their ability to flow and conform to the shape of the container. They also exert pressure evenly on the container's walls in all directions. Liquids at rest have a flat top surface, which is a characteristic behavior known as surface tension.
The answer depends on the liquid, or more specifically, how the surface tension in the liquid affects the meniscus. It should be the top of the meniscus for liquids such as mercury but the bottom for liquids such as water or alcohol.
Volume readings are made at the bottom of a curved surface called the meniscus. This is due to surface tension pulling the liquid up the walls of the container, creating a curve at the top of the liquid. When taking volume measurements, it is important to read the volume at the bottom of this curved surface for accuracy.
the density of each liquid. Liquids will form layers in the graduated cylinder based on their relative densities, with the denser liquids sinking to the bottom and the less dense liquids floating on top.

meniscus
All liquids have a surface tension. This tension creates a meniscus or curve on the surface, most noticeable in small diameter tubes or cylinders. The meniscus of water curves up the sides of the cylinder, while heavy liquids like mercury curves down the cylinder. You should always measure light liquids at the bottom of the meniscus and heavy liquids at the top of the meniscus.

The top surface of an airplane wing is curved to create lift. Because of the curve, air has to travel farther across the top of the wing than across the bottom; this creates a low-pressure condition that pulls the airplane into it.
