Pressure diagram is triangular. Base is equal to wh and height h so pressure becomes 1/2 base * height. So pressure becomes wh*h/2.

@Hema, please refer the book.

Can anyone explain how that equation comes?

Absolutely right @Suman.

We know pressure exerted per unit length = ωH2/2.

So, the pressure of water per metre length = (9. 81x103x1.32) /2.

= 8.29 KN.
