1 lbs <- Stupid answer, good answer -> the average us military submarine weighs about 6,900 tons dry, but some others such as missile submarines can weigh up to 17,000 tons.

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 do fluids help ballast chambers on a submarine?

A submarine actually controls its weight by allowing water to enter or exit hollow chambers in its hull. These chambers are called ballast tanks. Ballast is anything carried in a ship to give stability. When water is allowed to flood into a submarine's ballast tanks, the weight of the submarine increases. When this increased weight exceeds the submarine's buoyancy, the submarine will sink. To allow the submarine to rise, air is pumped into the ballast tanks. The air forces out the water, reducing the weight of the submarine. The submarine then becomes lighter, buoyancy increases, and it floats to the surface. A submarine can also be made to "float" underwater at any depth by adjusting the amount of water weight in its ballast tanks.


The buoyancy force on a submarine submerged in the ocean equals what?

The buoyancy force on a submerged submarine equals the weight of the water displaced by the submarine. This force acts in the opposite direction to the gravitational force, allowing the submarine to float or sink in the water.

How does a submarine change its weight?

Submarines can pump sea water into or out of ballast tanks, if they wish to change their weight (of course, anything that enters or leaves a submarine will also change its weight - people, supplies, weapons, etc. - but if you just want to change the weight, the easiest way is to pump water into the submarine).

When a submarine pumps water out of its floatation tank its density decreases and it floats. Why does its density decrease?

To rise again, the submarine's weight must be decreased. Air is pumped into the ballast tanks to force the water out. The buoyant force acting on the submarine now exceeds the submarine's weight. With positive buoyancy, the submarine rises. The less weight an object has the more its density decreases. Hope that kinda helps?


How much does a us navy submarine cook earn?

This is not a "cut and dry" question. It depends on the pay grade and whether they are wearing their "dophins" or not. They cannot receive submarine pay until they finish the submarine qualifications and put on the submarine pin or "dolphins".
