It's totally dependent on the hull type, material construction, and overall design, but in general, just before a submarine reaches crush depth is as much sea pressure as it can handle.

How can people withstand pressure in submarine?

A submarine is kept at, or close to, surface air pressure.


Why submarines are made of thick sheet of metal?

As a submarine submerges, it is subjected to a high volume of water pressure, which increases the further in depth the submarine goes. They have to be built to be able to withstand this pressure.


Why can't a submarine go to the bottom of the ocean?

A submarine cannot go to the bottom of the ocean because the pressure at such depths is too high for the submarine's structure to withstand, risking damage or collapse.


Why does the strength of a submarine hull have to be stronger than the hull of a ship?

because if a submarine goes under water to deep levels, it needs to hold against the air pressure. Yes the person said above.. They have to have a MUCH higher ability to withstand the pressure of the water pushing in against the hull of it.


Why are submarines built of hard thick sheet of metal?

Because they need to be able to withstand the pressure of the seawater outside. The deeper a submarine goes - the higher the pressure gets.


How do people enter and exit the submarine?

from the entrance :P +++ Through hatches designed to withstand the pressure of the sea water when submerged.


Why does pressure increase as a submarine dives deeper?

As a submarine dives deeper into the ocean, the pressure increases due to the weight of the water above it. Water is denser than air, and each additional meter of water adds more weight, resulting in greater pressure exerted on the submarine's hull. This increase in pressure can affect the structural integrity of the submarine, necessitating robust engineering to withstand these extreme conditions.


Can you call the body of a submarine 'fuselage?

No, the body of a submarine is not typically referred to as a "fuselage." The term "fuselage" specifically describes the main body of an aircraft, while the corresponding term for a submarine is "hull." The hull is designed to withstand underwater pressure and provides the submarine's structural integrity.


What just like gases water can also exert pressure. if there's a structural problem on a submarine the submarine is likely to be crushed as it descends?

Just like gases, water exerts pressure due to its weight, and this pressure increases with depth. As a submarine descends, the water pressure surrounding it intensifies, which can be fatal if there are structural weaknesses in the hull. If these weaknesses are not addressed, the immense pressure can cause the submarine to be crushed, compromising its integrity and safety. This is why submarines are designed to withstand significant underwater pressure.


How much pressure can an eggshell withstand?

An eggshell can withstand a lot more pressure than people think. It can withstand the force of 6.2 pounds or 25 Newtons.


Why submarine made up of strong material?

A submarine is made from strong material so it can withstand the tremendous pressure at depths.


How do you get into the submarine?

Through an air and water tight door called a hatch. These hatches are typically thick, round and rounded metal to withstand the sea water pressure at depth.
