Submarine hulls are subject to sea pressure, and that pressure increases the deeper the submarine goes. There are design limits to the amount of pressure that a hull can take, and if that pressure is exceeded by diving too deep, the hull will fail and will be crushed.

Will the submarine sink or float when its weight is equal to the upthrust acting on it?

The submarine will float when its weight is equal to the upthrust acting on it. This is because the upthrust force pushing the submarine upwards is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the submarine, resulting in a state of equilibrium where the submarine neither sinks nor floats.

How you think a submarine works and when might it be used?
