A submarine emerges 1/9 of its volume when it partially floats on the sea surface. For make it completely submerge it is necessary to allow a volume of 50,000 [L] to enter of sea water whose density is 1,026 [g / cm3]. What is the weight of the submarine?

Answer:

4,524,660 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the submarine's density is uniform, 1/9th of the submarine's mass is equal to the mass of the displaced water.

m/9 = (1026 kg/m³) (50 m³)

m = 461,700 kg

mg = 4,524,660 N
