Why must the height of the meniscus in the graduated cylinder match the height of the water in the tub when measuring volume?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

First, in order for you to understand, remember the basic concept of meniscus in graduated cylinder.

<em>"The meniscus is the curve seen at the top of a liquid in response to its container. The meniscus can be either concave or convex, depending on the surface tension of the liquid and its adhesion to the wall of the container".</em>

Now, according to this definition, and for water, the reading of the volume must be donde at the bottom of the curve of the meniscus. This is because the water  gives a concave curve.

If you read it and matches the height of water, you are getting two results:

One, get an accurate value or volume, because it's been done at eye level.

The second fact is that when you do the reading this way, The total pressure is made equal to the atmospheric pressure by adjusting the height of the cylinder until the water level is equal.

the deepest point in the sea is 100m below sea level .what arr the water pressure at this depth and the total pressure due to wa
fomenos

The water pressure at this depth and the total pressure due to water and atmosphere are  10.3 x 10⁵ Pa and 11.31× 10⁵ Pa.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area.

Atmospheric pressure, Patm =1.01×10⁵ Pa

Density of water, ρ=1030 kg/m³

Depth, h=100 m

Pressure =ρgh

P = 1030×10×100

P = 10.3 x 10⁵ Pa.

Total pressure, P=Po +ρgh

P=1.01×10⁵ + 1030×10×100

P=11.31× 10⁵ Pa

Hence, total pressure is 11.31× 10⁵ Pa.

Two long, parallel wires carry currents of different magnitudes. if the amount of current in each wire is doubled, what happens
Mrac [35]
The force per unit of length between two wires carrying current is
\frac{F}{L}= \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi r}
where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two wires, while r is the distance between them.

We can see from the formula that the force is proportional to the product between I1 and I2: F \sim I_1 I_2
so, if we double both I1 and I2, we get a factor 4:
F' \sim (2I_1 )(2I_2)=4 I_1 I_2 =4 F
so, the force between the wires will be 4 times the original value.
