Pressure On Submerged

The document discusses hydrostatic pressure on submerged curved surfaces. It provides an equation that the total pressure is equal to two times the horizontal pressure times the height squared minus the vertical pressure times the velocity squared. It also includes a figure showing a submerged curved surface with labels for the total pressure, horizontal pressure, vertical pressure, and a free-body diagram labeling the forces and reactions involved.
