at the bottom of the curve
there are two miniscus(curves) in all liquids present in cylinders.when a coloress liquid is present then we see the lower miniscus but when we see colored fluid we see the upper miniscus.

To measure the amount of liquid in a specific manner
Calculate the density of water using a graduated cylinder?
not quite. you can measure volume in a graduated cylinder. you can use a scale, water, and a graduated cylinder to find out the density of an object by filling the graduated cylinder to an easily calculated point (250) then dropping your object in the water making sure none splashes out then measure the difference, then weigh it and divide the mass by volume to get density.
What is a graduated cylinder brush?
It is a lab safety supply. It is used to clean the inside of a graduated cylinder after it is used. A graduated cylinder is basically a test tube with markings indicating the volume of the matter in the tube.
What are the advantages of using a graduated cylinder than a ruler?
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
When reading the volume of fluid in a graduated cylinder the eye should be .?
Level with the bottom of the fluid's meniscus
How does a piece of metal in a graduated cylinder of water allows you to figure out the volume?
The reading on the graduated scale is taken before and after the metal is lowered into the cylinder . The second reading is subtracted from the first. This gives the volume of the metal in cubic centimetres.
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
Can mass be measured in a graduated cylinder?
No. You mesure volume with a graduated cylinder.
What instrument is used to to find volume?
Graduated cylinder
Why is volume of the NaCl solution determined through a mass and density calculation rather than reading the graduated cylinder?
It is not a rule.
What are the rules for reading a graduated cylinder?
Read volume from the bottom of the meniscus (the crescent shaped pattern that many liquids form.)
What does a graduated cylinder calculate?
volume
A graduated cylinder measures the?
"volume"
A graduated cylinder used to find what of a liquid?
A graduated cylinder is used to find the VOLUME of a liquid.
What tool used for measuring precise volumes of liquids?
A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.
Where do you read the volume in the graduated cylinder?
Graduated cylinders are marked with lines showing the various volumes that are reached by fluid in the cylinder. That is why they are called graduated. If they did not have such markings they would just be ordinary cylinders. So, you see what marking the fluid reaches. That's how you measure the volume. You are just reading it off the cylinder, much the way you read length off a ruler.
