wH
wH/2
wH2/2
wH2/3

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

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

For vertical plane force = density*g*h^-
w = ROW*G,H^- = h/2.
f = wh/2.

Please verify anyone.

Total Pressure = ρ*g*H*A.

This formula is for total force right?

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

It should be total force per unit length instead of pressure.

@Jitendra.

Total pressure or force? Please explain.

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

Please explain this clearly to understand.
