The density of plate is .
Depth of the plate is from beneath the surface of the fluid.
Acceleration due to gravity .
Width of the plate is .
The plate is divided into small peices, so the area of the peice is .
Force at depth is
.
Force on each peices of the strip : .
Top of the plate is at depth .
Bottom of the plate is at depth .
Net force is obtained by integrating from to
.
Therefore, force on one side of the plate is .
Force on one side of the plate is .
