1 lbs <- Stupid answer, good answer -> the average us military submarine weighs about 6,900 tons dry, but some others such as missile submarines can weigh up to 17,000 tons.

How does a submarine dive and surface?
Massive ballast tanks can be filled with water or air, changing the weight and buoyancy of a sub. Once dived a sub can use hydroplanes to angle it towards the surface and use propulsion to drive to the surface.

When Bangladesh first engaged with submarine cable?
Bangladesh has joined the consortium of SEA-ME-WE-4 submarine cable, which starts its commercial activities from 21st may, 2006.
Who invented the submerine during the renaissance?
The first underwater warship was developed by Leonardo da Vinci. da Vinci kept his plans secret because he didn't want to make war any more terrifying than it already was. In 1578 William Borne began drawing plans for a submarine. His submarine was never built. Borne's submarine worked by using extra tanks which could be filled so the submarine would submerge. The tanks would be emptied for the submarine to surface. In 1620 Cornelis Drebbel, a Dutch inventor, built a leather covered rowboat with oars. The oars came out through watertight seals. Twelve people could ride in the submarine. Drebbel was an engineer who worked for the British navy. Drebbel was the first to discuss the problem of air replenishment while the submarine submerged. Drebbel's submarine could only go down about fifteen feet. It could stay underwater for a couple of hours.
How do fluids help ballast chambers on a submarine?
A submarine actually controls its weight by allowing water to enter or exit hollow chambers in its hull. These chambers are called ballast tanks. Ballast is anything carried in a ship to give stability. When water is allowed to flood into a submarine's ballast tanks, the weight of the submarine increases. When this increased weight exceeds the submarine's buoyancy, the submarine will sink. To allow the submarine to rise, air is pumped into the ballast tanks. The air forces out the water, reducing the weight of the submarine. The submarine then becomes lighter, buoyancy increases, and it floats to the surface. A submarine can also be made to "float" underwater at any depth by adjusting the amount of water weight in its ballast tanks.
Can you be dry underwater?
I dont really get the question but a submarine?
The buoyancy force on a submarine submerged in the ocean equals what?
the weight of the water displaced by the submarine.
What actors and actresses appeared in Capture totale - 2005?
The cast of Capture totale - 2005 includes: Sharon Stone as herself
What is the Kursk submarine weight?
25,000 tonnes
The buoyancy force on a submarine submerged in the ocean equals?
the weight of the ocean water displaced by the submarine.
When was Totale's Turns - It's Now or Never - created?
Totale's Turns - It's Now or Never - was created on 1979-10-27.
How does a submarine change its weight?
Submarines can pump sea water into or out of ballast tanks, if they wish to change their weight (of course, anything that enters or leaves a submarine will also change its weight - people, supplies, weapons, etc. - but if you just want to change the weight, the easiest way is to pump water into the submarine).
When a submarine pumps water out of its floatation tank its density decreases and it floats. Why does its density decrease?
To rise again, the submarine's weight must be decreased. Air is pumped into the ballast tanks to force the water out. The buoyant force acting on the submarine now exceeds the submarine's weight. With positive buoyancy, the submarine rises. The less weight an object has the more its density decreases. Hope that kinda helps?
When a submarine pumps water out of its inflation tanks its density decreases and floats.why does its density decrease?
It is not the matter of density. When inflation tank is filled with water then the weight of submarine is more than the weight of the displaced water. So submarine is in the sinking condition. As water is pumped out then weight of displaced water which is known as Buoyant force would be more than the weight of the submarine. So it would float.
How much does a us navy submarine cook earn?
This is not a "cut and dry" question. It depends on the pay grade and whether they are wearing their "dophins" or not. They cannot receive submarine pay until they finish the submarine qualifications and put on the submarine pin or "dolphins".
