We know the formula for Centre of pressure:
C.P = IG/Ax + x.
Where, IG= MOI about an axis passing through CG.
A = Area of plane surface submerged in liquid.
X= distance of CG from the free surface of the liquid.
If we consider the wall as rectangular then,
IG= bh^3/12 ; A= b * h ; x= h/2.
Putting all these values in C.P formula we get an answer as - 2h/3.
C.P = IG/Ax + x.
Where, IG= MOI about an axis passing through CG.
A = Area of plane surface submerged in liquid.
X= distance of CG from the free surface of the liquid.
If we consider the wall as rectangular then,
IG= bh^3/12 ; A= b * h ; x= h/2.
Putting all these values in C.P formula we get an answer as - 2h/3.

Actually, the intensity of pressure is directly proportional to the depth of the liquid level so that the total pressure also acts at the bottom of the liquid but in the above question the total pressure acts on the wall is equals to 2H/3 distance from the liquid level.
So please clarify my doubt.
So please clarify my doubt.

Let the area of vertical wall be,A= h* b and moi be I= (b*h^3)/12. This problem related to hydrostatic and condition is of vertical case , so in this case pressure act at h/3 from bottom side , and 2h/3 from top side.( just like uvl case)

Total pressure will act at the centre of pressure which is equal to;
CP= h/2 + moi/ area * h/2,
= 2h/3.
CP= h/2 + moi/ area * h/2,
= 2h/3.

Total pressure act at h/3 distance from the bottom.
So h-h/3= 2h/3 from the liquid surface or free surface.
So h-h/3= 2h/3 from the liquid surface or free surface.

I=bh^3/12 and A=bh while x=h/2.
using h=I/Ax +x.
we get;
2h/3.
using h=I/Ax +x.
we get;
2h/3.

How we get x=h/2? Please explain.
