so with buoyancy and liquid pressure i am pretty sure i know the answer but i just want to confirm (please don't laugh if it's obvious)
- upwards buoyancy pressure only acts on the surface of a structure that is faced down
- the bottom of the structure that supports all the mass of the structure (assume a cube like structure for simplicity) is the only area that has to be taken into account when calculating pressure on the downside.
- if the pressure on the bottom of the cube surface is 2700kpa, it will find equilibrium and stop at 2700 kpa of the ocean (270 meters)
