• An informative and useful graphical interpretation can be made for the force developed by a fluid acting on a plane area.
• Consider the pressure distribution along a vertical wall of a tank of width b, which contains a liquid having a specific weight
• Since the pressure must vary linearly with depth, we can represent the variation as is shown in Figure below, where the pressure is equal to zero at the upper surface and reach to maximum at the bottom.
• It is apparent from this diagram that the average pressure occurs at the depth h/2 and therefore the resultant force acting on the rectangular area (A = b h) is
