A submarine called the Deep View 66 is being developed to take 66 tourists at a time on sightseeing trips to tropical coral reefs. According to guidelines of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), to be safe for human occupancy the Deep View 66 must be able to withstand a pressure of 10.0 N per square millimeter. (a) To what depth can the Deep View 66 safely descend in seawater? (b) If the submarine is used in freshwater instead, is its maximum safe depth greater than, less than, or the same as in seawater?

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight. This also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 43.0 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (the bone is watertight). What mass of water is displaced?
A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 25 m below the surface. In this problem, assume the density of sea water is 1.03 × 103 kg/m3. Calculate the force, in newtons, needed to open the hatch from the inside, given it is circular and 0.55 m in diameter. The air pressure inside the submarine is 1.00 atm.
a diving sphere has a mass of 2.05x10^5 kg and an external diameter of 12.0 meters. the sphere initially floats on the surface of the ocean. the density of the sea water is 1025 kg/m^3. a large anchor is then attached to the sphere and it sinks to the ocean floor at a depth of 1.49 km. what is the buoyant force felt by the submerged sphere? what is the tension in the anchor cable?
