It is located at the centroid of the area of the surface that is in contact with the fluid.<\/p>\n<p>The resultant of all normal pressures acts at the center of pressure. This is because the normal pressure at any point on a surface is perpendicular to the surface, and the resultant of all forces acting perpendicular to a surface must pass through the centroid of the area of the surface.<\/p>\n<p>The center of pressure is important in the design of ships and other floating objects. The center of pressure must be below the <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\"
