Pressure in fluids:

$\overline{){\mathbf{P}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{h}}{\mathbf{\rho }}{\mathbf{g}}}$ where h is the height of the fluid, ρ is the density of the fluid, and g is gravitational acceleration.

In this problem, we are calculating pressure due to a fluid. The cube is completely immersed in the fluid such that
