If the question refers to the submarine's ability to maintain a certain depth, the answer is probably that the trim and the planes are employed to hold at a given depth. It might help to recall that a submarine is set up to be neutrally buoyant while underwater. By the use of trim to keep the submarine running level in the water with the planes at a zero angle, the planes can themselves be nudged a bit to push the submarine a bit more or less deep in the water.

What property does sinking and floating test?

The sinking and floating test helps determine the density and buoyancy of an object. Objects that are denser than the surrounding liquid will sink, while objects that are less dense will float.


When does a submarine have neutral buoyancy?

A submarine has neutral buoyancy when its weight is exactly equal to the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to remain suspended at a constant depth without sinking or rising. This balance between weight and buoyant force allows the submarine to move up or down in the water column as needed.


What is the difference between floating and sinking objects and the density of the liquid they are in?

Floating objects have a lower density than the liquid they are in, causing them to float. Sinking objects have a higher density than the liquid, causing them to sink. The density of the liquid determines whether an object will float or sink based on the relationship between the object's density and the liquid's density.


What will happen if an object that is the same density of water is placed in it?

If an object with the same density as water is placed in water, it will remain suspended at the same level without sinking or floating. This is known as neutral buoyancy, where the object's weight is equal to the water's buoyant force, resulting in it neither sinking nor floating.


Does size affect sinking and floating?

Yes, size can affect sinking and floating. Objects that are denser (heavier) than water will sink regardless of their size, while objects that are less dense (lighter) than water will float. However, the shape and density of an object also play a role in determining whether it will sink or float.

Can someone help think of a catchy title that involves sinking and floating?

When did submarine warfare end?

Submarine warfare has existed since the early 1900's, and continues to this day. Though the last ship sinking by a submarine was in the Falklands War, the evolving missions of submarines have taken submarine warfare well beyond just sinking ships and submarines.
