Q.	The result of pressure of a liquid on the wetted surface of a rigid body is
A.	The single force which, acting at a point on that surface would produce the same effect on the body as the liquid pressure on it
B.	The single resultant force acting on the body
C.	The point where vertical component of resulting force is zero
D.	The single point where resultant horizontal force is zero
E.	None of the above
Answer» A. The single force which, acting at a point on that surface would produce the same effect on the body as the liquid pressure on it
