That depends on the surface area over which the weight of the gallon of water is distributed. Divide 8.34 pounds -- the weight of a gallon of water -- by the area, in square inches, the gallon is sitting upon. If the gallon of water is in a typical plastic jug that you buy at the grocery store, it's not creating much pressure at all -- only about 2.2 ounces per square inch.

One gallon is a unit of volume.

It's also the same volume as

-- 8 pints

-- 128 fluid ounces

-- 16 cups

-- 231 cubic inches

-- 0.1337 cubic foot (rounded)

There is no answer to this as asked.

It would depend. If you had a gallon of water in 2 cylinders, one had a diameter of 3 inches and the other had a diameter of 6 inches. The water pressure at the bottom of the 3 inch cylinder would be greater than the bottom of the 6 inch.

More appropriately - it depends how tall you made the gallon of water. Water exerts 0.43 PSI per foot of depth - so, if the cylinder of water was a foot tall, the pressure would be 0.43 PSI at the bottom of the cylinder
