The name "centre of pressure (COP)" indicates representative pressure will act through this point for a vertical plane inside liquid.
If so, then total thrust= vertical area of the plane x pressure at COP.
But this does not match with the books.
All books say, total force (the thrust)= vertical area of the plane X pressure at centroid.
I do not understand this.
