How to apply non-uniform boundary load

I'm new to COMSOL and have been trying to build a septic tank model, in which I want to apply a load that starts at 0 (on the top lid of the tank) and increases to a known value -P at the bottom, as shown on the attached sketch. I'm using 2D axissymetric. How should I proceed to do so?

Thanks in advance.

Write an equation in the boundary condition box. For example, if the z coordinate runs from 0 (bottom) to H (lid) and pressure changes linearly, write

p*(1 - z/H)

Thanks, sir. I actually had a similar thought yesterday with P*(z/H), but for that to work I had to draw the geometry upside down. Now the problem is solved.
