Good explanation @Jitendra Khemani.

Pressure intensity = wh.
Total pressure = wH^2/2.

For finding pressure per unit of length,
P = W*H.
Where we are finding pressure effect on unit length,
So, H = Integral H dh.
H = H^2/2.
So,
P = w * H.
P = wH^2/2.

@Poggir
Yes, the formula for total pressure is F= ρ*g*A*h.

Poggir said:   5 years ago
Total Pressure = ρ*g*H*A.

This formula is for total force right?

@Jitendra.

Total pressure or force? Please explain.

Good explanation @Jitendra.

Total Pressure = rho*g*H*A.
Total pressure/lenth = (rho*g*H*A)/l.
H = h/2.
Then,
= (rho*g*h*A) / 2l (A= h*l)
= (rho*g*h*h*l) / 2l.
= (rho*g*h^2) / 2.
= (w*h^2) / 2 ( specific weight (w) = rho*g).

@Mohammed waqas good explain.

But the position of the centre of pressure will be 2/3 of h.

So, the answer should be 2/3wh^2.
