Question

This is a picture of a 100-mL graduated cylinder. The value for 'x' says 40 mL and the value for 'y' says a value 10 mL higher than 40. Record the value with proper estimation technique.

The image is a diagram illustrating a section of a graduated cylinder filled with liquid. The cylinder is marked with measurement lines indicating the liquid level. 

The liquid inside the cylinder is depicted in blue and forms a concave meniscus, which is common for liquids in narrow tubes due to surface tension. Two horizontal markers labeled X and Y are placed on the cylinder:

- Marker X is positioned below the meniscus, within the liquid portion and indicates the liquid level at the bottom of the meniscus curve.
- Marker Y is positioned above the meniscus, in the gaseous space, likely indicating a measurement excluding the meniscus.

This diagram can be used to teach concepts related to precise liquid measurement, such as reading the volume at the bottom of the meniscus for accuracy.
