The depth of centre of pressure (h) for a vertically immersed surface from the liquid surface is given by (where $${I_{\text{G}}}$$ = Moment of inertia of the immersed surface about horizontal axis through its centre of gravity, A = Area of immersed surface and x = Depth of centre of gravity of the immersed surface from the liquid surface)
A. $$\frac{{{I_{\text{G}}}}}{{{\text{A}}\overline {\text{x}} }} - \overline {\text{x}} $$
B. $$\frac{{{I_{\text{G}}}}}{{\overline {\text{x}} }} - {\text{A}}\overline {\text{x}} $$
C. $$\frac{{{\text{A}}\overline {\text{x}} }}{{{I_{\text{G}}}}} + \overline {\text{x}} $$
D. $$\frac{{{I_{\text{G}}}}}{{{\text{A}}\overline {\text{x}} }} + \overline {\text{x}} $$
