    In this module the resultant force acting on a submerged surface is derived. Hydrostatic force on a plane submerged surface shows a plane surface of arbitrary shape fully submerged in a uniform liquid. Since there can be no shear force in a static liquid, the hydrostatic force must act normal to the surface.
