    Negative bouyancy/sinking a car

    I don't know where to start on calculating the volume of the steel Russ. The surface area x thickness? I would have to make estimates for multiple layers and such. The volume of the sand will be determined by how much weight is necessary to achieve negative buoyancy for the project and yes, I...

    Negative bouyancy/sinking a car

    Lets do it! density of fluid is 1000 kilograms/meter3 volume is 317.7 cubic meters force of gravity is 9.18 Newtons/kilogram The equation is Fb=VxDxFg so 317.7 x 1000 x 9.18 = 2,916,486 pounds to keep the car under water?
