Answer:
a = 0.63 m/s²
Explanation:
given,
mass of submarine = 1460-kg
upward buoyant force = 16670 N
downward resistive force = 1150 N
submarine acceleration = ?
assuming g = 10 m/s²
now,
B - (R + mg) = ma
16670 - 1150 - 1460 × 10 = 1460 × a
1460× a = 920
a = 0.63 m/s²
hence, the acceleration of submarine is equal to a = 0.63 m/s²
