Water curves on the edges due to a phenomenon called surface tension, which results from cohesive forces between water molecules. These molecules are more attracted to each other than to the air above, creating a sort of "skin" on the surface. When water is in contact with a solid surface, such as a glass, adhesive forces between the water molecules and the surface can also cause the water to climb slightly along the edges, leading to a meniscus shape. This curvature minimizes the surface area and energy of the water.

What is the fifth and 9fifth percentiles?
The 50th percentile is average. The 5th is way below and the 95th is way above.The 5th and 95th percentiles are the lines that set of the "edges of the curve" in a distribution over a bell curve. If you draw the bell, and mark the 5th and 95th percentile spots, those marks separate the bulk of the curve from its edges. The 5th percentile sets off the bottom edge and the 95th percentile sets off the top edge of the curve.
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.
The curve on the surface of water is a graduated cylinder is called?
The meniscus.
How can you find the volume of a liquid?
First you put the liquid in the graduated cylinder.Then you read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus.The meniscus is the slight curve at the edges of the surface where the liquid touches the container.
How many faces edges and vertices does a circular prism have?
Oh, dude, a circular prism? That's like a fancy way of saying a cylinder with a polygonal base. So, it has two faces - the circular ones at the top and bottom, and then all those curved edges around the sides. And don't forget about the vertices, which are basically the corners where the edges meet. So, yeah, it's got 0 vertices because there are no corners on a curve, but hey, who's counting?
