Hydrostatic Force on Submerged Surfaces
If the surface is horizontal, the centre of pressure
coincides with centroid.
If the surface become more deeply submerged, centre
of pressure approaches centroid.
When the surface area is symmetric about either axis,
I xyˆˆ = ∫ xy dA = 0

F = FH2 + FV2
Fb = γ FluidVDisplaced by Body
The buoyant force has a magnitude equal to the weight of the fluid
displaced by the body and is directed vertically upward.
This force will act vertically upward through the centroid of the volume of
fluid displaced, known as the centre of buoyancy.
Then:
