$A$ very tall vertical cylinder is filled with a gas of molar mass $M$ under isothermal conditions at temperature $T$. The density and pressure of the gas at the base of the container are $\rho_0$ and $p_0$,respectively. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    Pressure decreases with height.
  • B
    $p = \rho \frac{RT}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{dp}{dh} = -\rho g$,where $\rho$ is the density of the gas at a height $h$.
  • D
    All of the above.
