A vertical wall is subjected to a pressure due to one kind of liquid, on one of its sides. The total pressure on the wall per unit length is (where w = Specific weight of liquid, and H = Height of liquid)

                But the position of the centre of pressure will be 2/3 of h.
So, the answer should be 2/3wh^2.
                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.
                w = ROW*G,H^- = h/2.
f = wh/2.

                Total Pressure = ρ*g*H*A.
This formula is for total force right?

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

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

Total pressure or force? Please explain.

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