1. When measuring liquid that has a menicus, always read from the bottom of the curve.
118+
119+
2. What is the quantity measured by the the smallest lines on the graduated cylinder in these examples? In other words, how far apart are these markings?
120+

a. [$tick0] mL

123+
b. [$tick1] mL

This means that the measurement for these devices should be *one digit more precise* than this. This is called the guess digit and this will define the uncertainty for that measurement.
