Formation of meniscus is a general phenomenon.
To use a graduated cylinder, place it on a flat surface and pour the liquid you want to measure into it. Make sure to read the measurement at eye level from the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved upper surface of the liquid. Be cautious with handling to prevent spills and inaccuracies in measurement.
The easiest way is to place the graduated cylinder on a scale or balance and measure the weight. You would then calculate from the weight (a force measured in kg, usually) to determine the mass.
displacement - invented by Archimedes. Completely fill a large volume of something with water. Have a spout to channel all excess water. Place a graduated cylinder under the spout. Place irregular object in the large volume filled with water. The volume of the irregular object will displace an equivalent volume of water into the graduated cylinder. The measured volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object.
You can measure the volume of a solid object using a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Simply fill the graduated cylinder with water to a certain level, then place the solid object in the water and measure the increase in volume. The difference in volume before and after the object is added will give you the volume of the object.
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid such as a watch is found by immersing that solid in water inside a graduated cylinder. You can then simply read the change in water level off the markings on the cylinder. Of course, if your watch is not water proof, this may not be such a good idea.
A graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume in milliliters, mL. When you place a liquid into a glass graduated cylinder, you will see that the "line" at the top of the column of liquid is actually curved downward. This is called the meniscus. When you measure the liquid volume, you record the volume in mL at the bottom of the meniscus.
To read a graduated cylinder with urine, place the cylinder on a flat surface at eye level, ensuring the liquid is not spilling or forming bubbles. Read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, the curved surface of the liquid. Take note of the volume marking that aligns with the bottom of the meniscus for an accurate reading.
The most accurate way to read a graduated cylinder is to place it on a flat surface. Bend down so you are eye level with the Meniscus Line, the line that is formed by the border between the unfilled portion of the cylinder and the top of the liquid. The very lowest part of this line is where you read the measurement. The markings are in whole numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc., with 10 lines between each number.
at the bottom of the meniscus
To measure volume using a graduated cylinder, you pour the liquid you want to measure into the cylinder and read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. Make sure to read the measurement at eye level for accuracy. The volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm^3).
Place the cylinder on a flat surface. Read the volume contained in a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask, by comparing the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid),at eye level, to the nearest graduation or ring.
Use the water displacement method. You need a graduated cylinder and some water. Fill the graduated cylinder with enough water so that when you place the rock in the graduated cylinder it will cover the rock. Read the meniscus (the slightly curved line of the water) at eye level. Record your measurement of the water in the graduated cylinder (in mL). Place the rock in the graduated cylinder and record your new measurement of the water line, again at eye level. Subtract the original measurement from the new one to get the volume of the rock.

Using a 10 ML graduated cylinder you can read 2 decimal places. This is also measuring volume.
A measuring cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquids. A measuring cylinder is used for measuring solutions, liquids and also water. For example, a solution made up of salt and water could be measured.
