No. The pressure on the top would be lower than the pressure on the bottom. So the pressure is not 1 bar throughout the column. If the pressure at the center of the column is 1 bar, then the pressure at the top is less than 1 bar, and the pressure at the bottom is greater than 1 bar.karalius said:Is the water pressure equal in a sealed column at the top and bottom?
If I created 1 bar of pressure would this also be equal at the top and bottom?
Thank you, is there a calculation I can use to work out the difference?Chestermiller said:No. The pressure on the top would be lower than the pressure on the bottom.

Have you learned about hydrostatics in your course yet?karalius said:Thank you, is there a calculation I can use to work out the difference?
