∙ 11y agoA 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.

What is a meniscus why it necessary to know about it when measuring liquids?
The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.

Make sure that first you weigh the object and then find its volume because if you find the volume first the object will get wet and the mass of the object will not be accurate.When you are using the measuring cylinder to find the volume make sure you read at eye-level and at the bottom of the meniscus.Always take repeated readings when finding the mass.
