An oblong board 3m high and 5m wide is placed vertically in water in such a manner that its upper face is 5m deep. Obtain the force ating on this board and the location of the center of pressure. Please help me so I can know if I'm on the right track. I have F=F2-F1=(po+pgh2)A-(po+pgh1)A. My answer is 7.34 X 105. I have no idea if I'm even close. Thanks.
