Hi PF!
I have been reading and reading for a clean explanation for the hydrostatic force of a curved submerged 2-D (or 3-D if you're up to it) surface. I really don't care what the curve looks like: quadratic, circular, partway sinusoidal, etc. All articles I read involve the centroid, but could someone help me through a derivation where we do all the math ourself? If so you choose the geometry (or I can) and let's start into it!
Thanks either way!
Josh
