is the water pressure at the bottom of a cylinder tank full of water more than the water pressure at the bottom of an upsidedown cone tank full of water??

If both tanks are the same height, then the water pressure at the bottom of each tank is the same.
The water pressure depends only on the depth of the water and has nothing to do with the shape of the tank.
The pressure at the bottom of either tank = 0.433 psi per foot of depth.

The pressure is the same at the bottom of the tanks, assuming the tanks are the same depth.

The equation for Pressure is P = (Density)(g)(h)
Where g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height of the fluid. The pressure depends only on the depth, not the shape of the container.

the water pressure is greater at the bottom of the cone...
