Transcribed Image Text:Problem 5: Buoyancy II
This Russian K-162 class submarine had a volume of
about 12,095 m³. Assume 1/3 of the vessel's volume
is above the water surface. How much seawater must
the submarine take on board to become neutrally
buoyant (i.e., on the verge of sinking-to allow
cruising underwater)? Assume seawater
p= 1,025 kg/m³ and y= 10,063 N/m³.
