Best Answer

It floats and sink by changing its buoyancy. The primary method of controling buoyancy is the ballast tanks. The air is let out of them and is displaced by water. This gives the submarine negative buoyancy, which will get the submarine to submerge. By blowing or pumping air into those ballast tanks, the submarine becomes buoyant and rises to the surface.

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.
