A submarine was floating at a depth of $ 640 \mathrm{~m} $ below the sea level. If it ascends 230 metres, what will be its new position? Express the position in terms of depth.
Given:
A submarine was floating at a depth of \( 640 \mathrm{~m} \) below the sea level.
It ascends 230 metres.
To do:
We have to find the new position.
Solution:
Let the sea level be $0$ and the depth below the sea level be negative.
This implies,
Initial position of the submarine $=-640\ m$
Final position of the submarine $=$ Initial position $+$ Height ascended
$=-640+230\ m$
$=-410\ m$
The final position of the submarine is $410\ m$ below the sea level.
