What is Total pressure force and Center pressure force?

Total pressure: Total pressure is defined as the force exerted by a static fluid on a surface either plane or curved when the fluid comes in contact with the surface. This force always acts normal to the surface.

Centre of pressure: Centre of pressure is defined as the point of application of the total pressure on the surface.
