For a submarine, identify when it will have theLEAST buoyant force acting on it.

Question

For a submarine, identify when it will have theLEAST buoyant force acting on it.Assume that neither the volume of the submarine nor the density ofthe water change. Choose all that apply.
A. When it is empty,fully submerged, and resting on the bottom at a depth of 100m B. When it isempty and floating on the surface C. When it isempty and fully submerged at a depth of 50 m D. When it is fullof cargo and floating on the surface E. When it is fullof cargo, fully submerged, and resting on the bottom at a depth of100 m. F. When it is fullof cargo and fully submerged at a depth of 50 m G. When it is indry dock and no part of it is submerged in water.

Explanation / Answer

When it is in dry dock, there is no water to create a buoyancy force, only air, and a submarine-volume worth of air doesn't weight much.So answer is option (G)
