The effects of finite plasma pressure and pressure anisotropy, toroidal rotation and gravity on the equilibrium, flow, and stability of plasma in dipolar magnetic configurations are considered. Dipolar equilibria are of interest for magnetic confinement experiments in the laboratory and understanding the physics of magnetospheric and astrophysical plasmas. It is demonstrated that realistic solutions of the appropriate ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations can be found in a separable form which drastically simplifies the equations and even allows us to analytically obtain some limiting forms of the nonlinear solutions. The MHD stability of these equilibria is explicitly evaluated in some cases.
