PHYSICS / FLUID STATICS
Calculate resultant gauge-pressure force on a submerged plane surface from centroid depth. See the governing equation, substituted values, result, assumptions, and interpretation in one guided workspace.

Use boundary
Fluid density is uniform, the free surface is static, and depth is measured to the plane-area centroid.
Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
