1) Valves

To allows sea water to enter the tank .


2)Ballast Tank
That can be filled with water or filled with air. When the
submarine is on the surface, the ballast tanks are filled with air.
3)Periscope
To allow the people inside can observe what is happening on the
surface of the water.
4)interior
To allow staff to have a place to rest and work.
5)Compressed air tank:
Forcing the water out through the flood ports at the bottom of the
tank.
Why the SUBMARINE float at the water surface:
It because the Buoyant Force is Bigger than the weight of
Submarine.

How to increase the weight of SUBMARINE:


STEPS:
1) Open the upward valves and downward valves
2) The air will flow out throughth the upward valves
3) Sea water will flow in throughth the downward valves
4) Hence, the submarine will dive into the sea slowly
5) It due to the weight of submarine is bigger than the buoyant
force.
6) Lastly,until a certain depth the valves will closes
How to decrease the weight of SUBMARINE:
STEPS:
1) The downward valves will opened
2) The Air Compressor will pump the air out
3) The compressed air is forced into the ballast tank and the water
is purged out from the ballast tank
4) Hence, the submarine will rises up slowly
5) It due to the weight of submarine is lower than the buoyant
force.
