Solution
A plate or planar surface will experience pressure whenever it is submerged, and a force due to pressure can be calculated by multiplying the pressure measured at the Centroid of its area times the distance from the free surface of fluid to centroid of the surface. This force acts Normal to the surface or perpendicular (90 degrees)to the surface but does not act at the center of its area but rather at the area centroid of the distribution of pressure. This is not always easy to determine, but in the integral calculation of the location, it is noted that there is an easy formulation that applies to regular geometric shapes. Such shapes are routinely illustrated in tables showing the area, centroid, and moments of inertia about the centroid.
