Have you tried to figure this our yourself? It's a very common term in chemistry and if you Google on burette or titration, you're almost certain to stumble on it.

Posts crossed. I tried not to just give the answer because it seems obvious that someone is looking for last minute homework answers.
 
It happens.
 
I just kept searching "tip of water, chemistry, tube". I really couldn't find it. Thank you, JGM_14, you know how it feels.
 
How to read a graduated cylinder. Google it.
 
Do you mean the vinculum?
