How to Evaluate Top Force on Plate?

Top Force on Plate evaluator uses Top Force = Density of Fluid*[g]*Distance of Top Edge from Free Surface*Area of Surface to evaluate the Top Force, The Top Force on Plate formula is defined as the function of density of fluid, gravitational acceleration, Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface and Area of Surface. It is a common experience that an object feels lighter and weighs less in a liquid than it does in air. This can be demonstrated easily by weighing a heavy object in water by a waterproof spring scale. Also, objects made of wood or other light materials float on water. These and other observations suggest that a fluid exerts an upward force on a body immersed in it. This force that tends to lift the body is called the buoyant force. The buoyant force is caused by the increase of pressure with depth in a fluid. Top Force is denoted by FTop symbol.
