Note that at a fixed radius, the pressure varies hydrostatically in the<br />

vertical direction, as in a fluid at rest.<br />

For a fixed vertical distance z, the pressure varies with the square <strong>of</strong> the<br />

radial distance r, increasing from the centerline toward the outer edge.<br />

In any horizontal plane, the pressure difference between the center and<br />

edge <strong>of</strong> the container <strong>of</strong> radius R is<br />
