Question

  1. Describe the forces that enable the submarine to descend or ascend in the seawater. 
  2. When the submarine holds at the constant depth of 3,500m, calculate the 
    1. buoyant force on the submarine.
    2. weight of seawater in the ballast tank.
    3. seawater pressure.



3. When seawater flows into the bottom opening at 10 m/s, calculate the velocity of the seawater level (8m above the bottom of the submarine) inside the ballast tank (v on diagram).

4. Calculate the net force on the submarine circular hatch door (10m above the bottom of the submarine) with a radius of 0.5m. The air pressure inside the submarine below the hatch door is 150 101.3 kPa.
