Answer

$F=-W k$

Work Step by Step

Consider $\iint_S fc \cdot n dS=\iiint_Ediv (fc) dV$ Re-arrange as: $\iint_S fc \cdot n dS=\iiint_E f( \nabla \cdot c) +(\nabla f) \cdot c dV$ This implies that $\iint_S fc \cdot n dS=\iiint_E f(0) +(\nabla f) \cdot c dV$ and $\iint_S fn \cdot c dS=\iiint_E (\nabla f) \cdot c dV$ Thus, $\iint_S f \cdot n dS=\iiint_E (\nabla f) dV$ Here, we have $\nabla P=\dfrac{\partial p}{\partial x}i+\dfrac{\partial p}{\partial y}j+\dfrac{\partial p}{\partial z}k=\rho g k$ $F=-\iiint_E (\nabla P) dV$ or, $F=-(\rho g k) \iiint_E dV$ where, $\rho$ denotes the density of the liquid and $\iiint_E dV$ shows volume of the solid. The weight of the liquid, $W=\rho g v$ Hence, our result is $F=-W k$
