Answer 2

The point of application of the total pressure on the surface is known as the center of pressure.

• The center of pressure is the intersection of the line of action of the resultant hydrostatic force and the corresponding surface.
• The pressure center is the place on a body where the complete amount of a pressure field operates, causing a force to act through it.
• The value of the integrated vectorial pressure field is the entire force vector acting at the center of pressure.
