Forces on Plane Surfaces (Review):
A plane surface or panel is a flat surface of arbitrary shape.
A description of the pressure at all points along a surface is called pressure distribution.
Onur Akay, Ph.D. CE 204 Fluid Mechanics 2
For a uniform pressure distribution, the CP is located at the centroid of area of the panel.

Stability of Immersed and Floating Bodies:
Stability: Determines whether an object will tip over or remain in an upright position when
placed in a liquid.
Immersed Bodies: Center of buoyancy (C) is at the centroid of the displaced volume.

Relative Equilibrium:
If a fluid mass is subjected to an external acceleration , an additional force will be
introduced (No relative motion of the liquid particles, no shear stress).
Liquid Subject to Horizontal & Vertical Acceleration:
