4 m of water column

same

higher

lower

lower/higher depending on weight of body

at the center of gravity

above the center of gravity

below be center of gravity

could be above or below e.g. depending on density of body and liquid

only when the fluid is frictionless

only when the fluid is incompressible and has zero viscosity

when there is no motion of one fluid layer relative to an adjacent layer

irrespective of the motion of one fluid layer relative to an adjacent layer

Local atmospheric pressure depends upon elevation of locality only

Standard atmospheric pressure is the mean local atmospheric pressure a* sea level

Local atmospheric pressure is always below standard atmospheric pressure

A barometer reads the difference be-tween local and standard atmospheric pressure
