The surface area of the upper area of the submarine is 200 m2. If the submarine is 70m below the sea water, calculate the total force acting on its upper surface. [ Density of sea water= 1040 kg m-3 , density of mercury = 13,600 kg m-3 , atmospheric pressure= 75 cm of mercuy and g= 10ms-2].

Answer:

Surface area (A) of upper surface= 200 m2

Pressure due to air=  x  x g = 0.75m x 13600 kg m-3 x 10 ms-2 = 1,02,000 Pa.

Pressure due to sea water only= x  x g = 70m x 1040 kg m-3 x 10 ms-2

                                           = 7,28,000 Pa.

Therefore, total pressure (P) acting on the surface of submarine= ( 7,28,000 + 1,02,000) = 8,30,000Pa.

Total force acting on the submarine= P x A = 83000 x 200

                                                   = 166,000,000 N.

I want to know that in the numericals of chapter upthurst.
In the formulae Upthrust=Volume*Density*Gravity
Why we dont put the value of g but let it be like that.
When we do this the answer is in kgf
Please tell me what is kgf
