Prove that resultant surface force on body is zero


Consider a body of arbitrary shape. If the pressure distribution over the surface of the body is constant (e.g. atmospheric pressure everywhere), use Gauss' theorem to prove that the resultant surface force (force due to pressure) on the body is zero.

Alternatively (half the points): Assume the body is a simple square with atmospheric pressure surrounding it. Show that the resultant surface force on the square is zero.
