A <pressure> increment applied to a confined <fluid> in equilibrium is transmitted throughout it. The pressure increment is a <scalar>, not a <force> vector copied in one direction. Comparing different heights also requires the <hydrostatic pressure> difference. Finite-speed <pressure wave propagation> precedes the new equilibrium.
