The Formula for hydraulic force on a vertical body is P=wah'.
Where h' = depth of the center of gravity.. which is h/2 here in this case.
So P=w (l*h) h/2 =wh^2/2 (per meter cancels out l).
Where h' = depth of the center of gravity.. which is h/2 here in this case.
So P=w (l*h) h/2 =wh^2/2 (per meter cancels out l).
