This displacement of water creates an upward force called the buoyant force and acts opposite to gravity, which would pull the ship down. Unlike a ship, a submarine can control its buoyancy, thus allowing it to sink and surface at will.

The submarine sinks by letting water into its ballast tanks. The submarine floats by pumping that water out.

How do submarines float and sink in water?

a submarine has a water tank. when the tank is filled then submarine sink in the water. and when the tank is empty then submarine float in water. use the formula density= mass / volume as mass increases(when the tank is full of water), the density of the submarine increases and it submerge into the water and vice versa.


How does the submarine control its floating and sinking?

ballast. the sub takes in and releases water to change the bouancy of the entire boat making it either sink or float respectively.
