- Homework Statement
- I'm trying to fully understand the calculation of, the center of pressure (hf), for a vertical tank wall with a fluid of uniform density. The pressure distribution is linear, starting from zero at the surface and increasing to ρgh at the bottom.
Specifically, I would like to understand:
-The general derivation of the center of pressure hf
- Relevant Equations
- I’m aware of the formula hf=(∫h⋅dF)/F Where F is the resultant force on the wall of the tank.
