Question

Write about the measuring cylinder?

Answer 1

• Measuring cylinder is cylindrical in shape, with graduations marked on its body. 
• Measuring cylinders are available in different sizes.

• They are used in laboratories to measure a certain volume of a liquid and to measure milk, oils, etc by shop keepers. 
• We can fill it with the liquid to be measured and then read the marking at the lowest point of the concave surface of liquid. 
• We must bring our eyes in line with this level of liquid and then read it. 
• Apart from measuring the volumes of liquids, we also measure the volumes of solids, for example, loose solids like sand, clay, and ready-mix of cement.
