A gas in a closed container will exert much higher pressure due to gravity at the bottom than at the top.

The pressure of a gas is due to

A stationary vertical cylindrical container of very large height filled with a gas of molar mass M at constant Temperature. The pressure at the bottom is P_(1) and at the top is P_(2) . If the acceleration due to gravity is assumed to be constant for the whole cylinder, which is equal to g. Then the height of the cylinder is :

Which of the following water columns exerts the highest pressure on the bottom of the container?

A liquid in a container exerts equal pressure in all directions on the bottom of the container, on its walls and even upwards.

A container of filled with water to a height of 10 m. The pressure exerted by the water at the bottom of the container is _________ .
