I think the answer should be A because,

Intensity of pressure always acts at the centre of pressure.

And centre of pressure and centroid are coincide only in case of horizontal area.

Centre of pressure and centroid coincide only in case of horizontal area.

Hence, the answer is A.

Total pressure P =wAx nd answer is all the above cause total pressure is same all the cases.

Answer is right, the formula is pAX but the location of acting of pressure varies.

It is Most suitable Answer is for Vertical. But P=WAX can be used to any surface.

Sajid said:   8 years ago
Here F= WAX.

Therefore irrespective of the angle it is correct for all.

Surendra said:   9 years ago
It is correct.

Total force will be acting on center of pressure.

Tushar said:   9 years ago
The correct answer is (a) only when it is horizontal area.

Kanishk said:   1 decade ago
In inclined, isn't it at the Center of Pressure?
