Answer:

The scientist spent 450 seconds in descending after boarding the submarine.

Explanation:

The ocean floor directly beneath the boat is at a depth of 180 meters.

The submarine descends at a constant rate of 0.4 meters per second.

So, to reach 180 meters time taken will be =
(180)/(0.4)= 450 seconds

Therefore, the scientist spent 450 seconds in descending after boarding the submarine.
