Center of pressure
The Center of Pressure (or CoP) is the point on a body where the sum of the total pressure acts. Pressure acting on a surface causes a force. The point at which the sum of these forces, from the various surfaces of the body, passes through the body is the CoP. Mathematically it can be said that the net pressure force on the body acts through this point.
