Best Answer

Surface tension, place a drop of detergent on the water and it breaks the meniscus allowing the water to flow away. Also the cohesion makes the water molecules stay together. It is not because of the ridge.

does a coin sink or float?

The reason the pennies sink in water is because of an idea called density. The pennies have more density than the water, and so the pennies sink. Anything with more density than water will sink in water, but other objects that have less density than water will float.

If water splashes out of a graduated cylinder during a measurement of the volume of pennies Will it affect the results?

Measuring the volume of pennies by their displacement requires that only water actually displaced by the pennies is measured. Unless the water was at the very top of the cylinder both before and after the pennies are added, splashed water will make the measurement invalid.Because surface tension forms a curved surface at the top of the water, it is advisable to have the cylinder only partly filled, and measure the level at the same part of the curved water surface both before and after the pennies are added. This will improve the accuracy of measurement.
