Question

A submarine was situated 800 feet below sea level.

Answer 1

Answer:

New position = -525 ft or 525 ft below the sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets h be the height of the sea.

Given:

A submarine was situated 800 feet below sea level.

It is ascends 275 feet.

We know that h = 0 on the surface of the sea.

When we go below the surface vertically inside the sea the height will become negative.

So the submarine was situated h = -800 feet below the sea level, and it is ascends 275 feet from -800 feet.

So the new height of the submarine is.

$h = -800 + 275$

$h = -525\ ft$

Therefore the new position of the submarine is 525 below the sea level.
