Explain Why is the surface of water in a graduated cylinder curved?
it is probably called figure it out, it is curved because glass is sticky. When you measure the volume from a graduated cylinder, measure at the bottom of it. It is called the meniscus.
Is the surface of water flat?
Technically, No. Water in a glass (or other vessel) has a curved surface known as a meniscus. A large body of water (like an ocean) actually follows the curve of the earth. So the surface of the water is a curve or section of a sphere.
How long will it take to evaporate a container of water that has 3 inches 5 inches and 6 inches?
That depends on the composition of the container, the method of adding heat to thecontainer, the rate at which heat is added to the container, the air pressure abovethe surface of the water, the relative humidity of the air above the surface of thewater, and the rate at which the air above the surface of the water is in motion.In general, the time required, in minutes, is(90)/(the rate of evaporation achieved, expressed in cubic inches per minute)
How much water in a 12 ft by33 inches?
The exact volume of water cannot be determined because we don't know how deep or high the container is but it would have a surface area of 396 ft2.
If a full gallon container of water is used to fill a half gallon container and a quart container then how much water is left in the gallon container?
One quart
When water is in a container the surface of water is curved. this curve is called?
convex
When water is in a container and the water is curved What is the curve called?
This is called the meniscus. The meniscus is caused by the high surface tension of water.
When water is in a container the surface of the water is curved. this curve is called the?
The meniscus - the upward curve of a liquid in a narrow vessel.

Which property of water causes a curved surface?
Adhesion is the property of water causes the curved surface

Why was the surface of a Roman road curved?
The surface of a Roman road was curved to make water run off.
What is the curved surface of water in a burette called?

When water is in a container the surface of the water is curved this curve is call?
Meniscus is the curve at the surface of a liquid in a cylinder. It is caused by the adhesive and cohesive properties of water molecules. (Meniscus was incorrectly spelled in an earlier answer as "miniscus.")
