Question
what is an appropriate reading for the measurement of liquid in the graduated cylinder below?
Step1: Read the meniscus
The meniscus is the curve at the surface of a liquid. For water - based liquids in a glass graduated cylinder, we read the bottom of the meniscus.
Step2: Identify the scale
The graduated cylinder has markings. Each major division (from 100 to 110) is 10 units. If we assume the cylinder is marked in milliliters (a common unit for liquid volume in graduated cylinders), and if there are 10 sub - divisions between 100 and 110, each sub - division is 1 mL.
Looking at the position of the bottom of the meniscus, it is at 104.
