What is the bottom of the curve of liquid in a graduated cylinder?
Since the surface of water rises up to the sides of the cylinder, the low point is in the center of the surface. (Volume is assumed unless boiling or melting points are stated)
When reading a scale of water do you read of the tip of the water or the bottom curve?
In a graduated cylinder, the water or liquid will tend to pull its surface up the side just a bit. This curved shape is call the meniscus. You should read the level at the lowest point of the meniscus, in the center. Turn the cylinder so that the markings are toward you, so you can see the low point of the meniscus behind the markings to get your measurement. There are a few liquids which want to pull away from the edges, which will thus have an inverted meniscus. For these, you would read the high point.
What is the measure at the bottom of curved surface of water?
The meniscus is the name for the way that water forms a concave curve at it's surface. This is because of the cohesive and capillary properties of water.
What molecular attraction causes surface of the water to curve inside a glass?
The force of adhesion between water and glass molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between two water molecules.This causes the surface of the water to be curved. This curved surface is called a meniscus.
Is a meniscus the scale on a Triple beam balance?
If it is, I'll be damned.a meniscus, as far as I know, is the maximum curve of a liquid in a measuring cylinder. you read the volume from there.
The curve on the surface of water is a graduated cylinder is called?
The meniscus.

Why are there lines on a graduated cylinder?

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."
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
