A 1470-kg submarine rises straight up towards the surface. Seawater exerts both an upward buoyant force of 16050 N on the submarine, as well as a downward resistive force of 1130 N. What is the submarine's acceleration? Units ola^2 A
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
![**Problem Statement:**
A 1470-kg submarine rises straight up towards the surface. Seawater exerts both an upward buoyant force of 16050 N on the submarine, as well as a downward resistive force of 1130 N. What is the submarine's acceleration?

**Diagram/Graph Explanation:**
There are no diagrams or graphs associated with this problem statement. However, if there were a diagram, it might illustrate the forces acting on the submarine, for example:
1. **Upward Buoyant Force (16050 N):** Represented by an arrow pointing upwards.
2. **Downward Resistive Force (1130 N):** Represented by an arrow pointing downwards.
3. **Gravitational Force (Weight):** Calculated using the mass of the submarine (1470 kg) and the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²), shown by another arrow pointing downwards.
These visual aids could help demonstrate the net force acting on the submarine and thereby assist in calculating the resultant acceleration using Newton's second law of motion.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F30341bd5-9df6-4a1f-8fda-916b6928e177%2F7cc8ed9e-15bd-45a0-86d8-aef693885857%2Fd1yzqq_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
