W*A*X = 9.81 *1000*(1*1)*1 because x is nothing but center of gravity from free surface. When we talk about value of total pre. then we have to take X as distance of C.G. from free surface.

since 2m vertically downward from free surface.

therefore COG from free surface equal to (2+1/2)=2.5m

using formula for

pressure = W*A*X

= (9.81*1000) * (1*1)*2.5 N

= 2500 kg (answer)

(1Kgf=9.81N)
