From the given diagram water is touching the plate for 5m height and 5 meters wide i.e., the surface area of the plate which is in contact with water is 5m*5m.
We can find the pressure force on the plate by using the following formula:

Fp p g* Ah kg p density of liquid 1000 m3 g acceleration due to gravity 10 m/s2 Surface area of the plate which is in contact with water =5 *5 25 m2 A - 5 2.5 m h distance of centroid of the area A from the surface of water 2 Therefore Pressure Force: Fp 10 25 2.5 625000 N 625 kN 1000 k
Pressure force Fp acts at centre of pressure (h*), we can find centre of pressure as follows:
