Meniscus
When measuring volume in a graduated cylinder, you should read the level at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. Make sure your eye is level with the meniscus to avoid parallax error. The measurement should be taken at the lowest point of the curve for an accurate reading.
The volume of liquid in a cylinder is directly proportional to its height. And the height can easily be scaled and etched onto the side of a cylinder. and fluid containers creates statics voltage as fluid moves inside of it. so there should not have corners ( it reseves static voltage) spark can create through the corners.
The level of the liquid in the cylinder rose by 10 mL when the rock was submerged in the liquid.
You measure the volume of a liquid on a graduated cylinder at the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid.
Meniscus.
The "bottom of a curved line" made by the liquid in a graduated cylinder could be called the "measuring line" or "reference line" in the application of that piece of labratory equipment. The curved surface of the liquid itself is called the meniscus, and we look to the bottom of the meniscus to make our reading as to the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder. The liquid in the cylinder "grabs" the sides of the cylinder and "pulls itself up" just a bit, and that creates the curve in the surface of the liquid. And that curve, the meniscus (which is from the Greek word for crescent), leaves us with a problem: where do we "read" the volume marked off by the graduations along the side of the cylinder? And the answer is, "At the bottom of the meniscus."
When measuring with a graduated cylinder, you pour the liquid into the cylinder to a precise level. Read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. Be sure to read the measurement at eye level for accuracy.

I think you are talking about a graduated cylinder. When measuring liquids in a grad. cylinder you should read at the bottom of the miniscus ( the curved surface of the water or other liquid).
To measure the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, you simply pour the liquid into the cylinder and read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. The volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm).
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.
The fill line of a graduated cylinder is known as the meniscus. It is the curved surface of a liquid in the cylinder caused by the surface tension between the liquid and the glass. Scientists must take measurements at the bottom of the meniscus for accuracy.
To accurately measure liquid, you can use equipment such as graduated cylinders, beakers, measuring cups, or pipettes, depending on the volume of liquid you need to measure. Each of these tools has graduated markings that allow you to determine the exact volume of liquid accurately.
The most accurate way to measure the volume of a liquid in a container is by using a graduated cylinder. Fill the cylinder with the liquid and read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, the curved surface of the liquid. This method provides precise volume measurements.
Measure the container itself, or measure the mass of the liquid and the container and find the density of that certain liquid has and isolate for the volume.
