What advantages did the Romans find in using a cross vault instead of a barrel vault?
A cylinder does not have area, since it is a three dimensional object. Instead, it is usually described as having volume,
If you consider a cylinder, it has two faces, of you consider a cone instead, it has one face ONLY.
If we're talking in purely geometric terms: If the edges of a prism/cylinder make a right angle with the base, it is called a right prism/cylinder. If not, it is an oblique prism/cylinder...it will look as if it were slanting to one side instead of standing straight. Similarly, if the top vertex of a pyramid/cone is directly above the center of the base, it is a right pyramid/cone. Otherwise, it is an oblique pyramid/cone. Again, it will look a bit askew.
If you are dealing with something microscopic, you dont want to say that it is say 0.000005 metres in size, it looks messy. Instead you can say 5 microns (micrometres) This is good for the likes of cell sizes
graduated cylinder
use a graduated cylinder with the lowest capacity (greater than 26ml) if extreme accuracy is needed, (as I suspect with the small amount stated) I might use a scale, measuring by weight instead of volume (dropper may be needed to add to weight needed).... but you must adjust weight according to specific gravity or the only accurate liquid measured by 25.3 grams weight would be WATER :P
No, the uncertainty of a graduated cylinder is typically based on its smallest graduated division. Therefore, the 100 ml graduated cylinder would have a larger uncertainty compared to the 10 ml graduated cylinder.
A scientist would use a graduated cylinder instead of a beaker when they require more precise volume measurements. Graduated cylinders have marked graduations that allow for more accurate volume readings compared to beakers, which do not have precise measurement markings.
Rocks, if they have not been carved, generally have an irregular shape. It would therefore not be practical to try to measure their dimensions and perform geometrical calculations to get the volume. Instead, you can place the rock inside a graduated cylinder that has water in it, and observe how much water is displaced. That will equal the volume of the rock. Of course, if the rock is very large, you would have difficulty getting a graduated cylinder that is large enough, but if it was really necessary to learn the volume of the rock, you could custom build a container that would serve as an extra large graduated cylinder.
Yes, adhesion is responsible for the attraction between water molecules and the glass sides of a graduated cylinder. Adhesion is the force of attraction between different molecules, in this case, water molecules and the glass molecules. This attraction causes the water to stick to the glass surface instead of forming a perfect dome shape.
The smallest grad cylinder I have ever personally seen was 10 mL, and that's the smallest size that's readily commercially available (if you're willing to spend the money, one of the custom glassblowing supply companies would probably make you one of any size you wanted). For smaller amounts, though, (and approximately the same level of precision), a graduated pipette is usually used instead.
Use a weight scale. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon. Therefore 10 gallons weighs 83.40 pounds
If all volume measurements were made with the same graduated cylinder, the accuracy of the determined equilibrium constant would improve. Consistent use of the same instrument helps in reducing systematic errors that may arise from using different equipment. This would lead to more reliable and consistent data, resulting in a more accurate determination of Keq.
A container or beaker is commonly used to store and mix liquids, but these do not provide accurate measurements. If precise measurements are needed, a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask should be used instead.
Plies graduated in a degree for nursing..But he did not follow through with that plan...He became a rapper instead of a nurse...So he is not a nurse. He just graduated with a degree for it.
