Does the bottom surface of a submarine experience the same hydrostatic pressure as the top surface?
Duke1632
No, it will be greater
Imagine pressure as the weight of a column of water over an area, typically one sq. in. So the deeper you go, the greater the weight, the greater the pressure.

Why do submariners not get decompression sickness when they surface?
Because the pressure inside a submarine is the same as at the surface. In otherwords, they never experience any pressure increase on their body since the submarine is protecting them.
How can people withstand pressure in submarine?
A submarine is kept at, or close to, surface air pressure.
How is pressure used in the control of a submarine's ability to dive?
The process of a submarine to move from the surface of the ocean to a position underneath the surface is called a dive. This is accomplished by allowing water to fill the tanks of the submarine, the heavy water pressure now inside the vessel now will force it to sink below the surface, thus a "dive".
Why hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even through pressure is force divided by area?
I'm guessing that your issue is that force is a vector quantity? It turns out that hydrostatic force is always normal to the surface, so it can be treated as a scalar; only the magnitude is important.
Resultant hydrostatic force acts through a point known as?
Center of Pressure. CP is located at the centroid on a flat panal or surface.
What is in liquid?
The question is a bit vague, but two things come into play for pressure in a liquid: external pressure and hydrostatic pressure. For a liquid where the top surface is in contact with a gas, like a glass of water sitting out on the table, the external pressure would be the pressure of the gas. For the glass of water in this example, the pressure of the gas is just the ambient atmospheric pressure. In a pressure cooker with hot gas and hot liquid confined in a fixed volume, the pressure of the gas will probably reach the pressure the relief valve is set to. Hydrostatic pressure comes from the weight of the liquid above the liquid at any point in the liquid. As an example, if you go 10 meters down under the surface of the water in a swimming pool, you will feel the pressure created by the weight of the water above you. As a formula, P.H. (hydrostatic pressure) = (gravitational acceleration)x(density of liquid)x(depth of liquid). To get total pressure at any point in a liquid, you add the external pressure and the hydrostatic pressure. In situations like a hydraulic line, you would add the pressure exerted by the piston (external pressure) to the hydrostatic pressure from changes in the height of the hydraulic line. By the way, if the line goes UP, the effective depth is NEGATIVE and the hydrostatic pressure term is also negative, so you would have less pressure at the top of the hydraulic line than you did down at the level of the piston.

What do you call a ship that travels to the surface of the sea?
A submarine is a ship that can travel underwater.
Do you experience more pressure when you swim on the surface?
No. You experience greater and greater pressure as you swim farther and farther below the surface of the water. This is because there is a greater height of water pressing down on you from above.
How did you find the Force on inclined submerged plane surface?
The best way is to find the centre of surface of planar area. Then the force due to hydrostatic pressure will be:F = d h0 g S,where:F is force,d is density of fluid,h0 is depth at the centre of surface,S is surface of the area.It works because when we consider the centre of surface, there will exactly as much surface with lesser pressure effecting on it as there is surface below the centre point where the pressure is higher.The net force vector will be perpendicular to the area at the centre of surface point.
First submarine to launch surface to air missile?
Royal Navy submarine
Where is team aqua after you have found the submarine?
After you find the submarine you use dive up to the surface.
