    Total hydrostatic force on a submerged plane surface equals to the pressure at the centroid of the area times the submerged area of the surface and acts normal to it. Centre of Pressure (CP) is the point of action of hydrostatic force. Moment of resultant force about any axis must be equal to the moment of distributed force about the same axis.
