Screenshot of the Day #104: Invisible Sub

[OmegaMega]

A ballistic missle sub lets a missle containing pod go that is less dense than water. This increases the density of the sub. We know from our fluid statics the manometer equation p=ghro. knowing that the change in mass is negliable whilr the volume remains constant, our ro is virtually un changed as is our downward force, f=mg, so remembering that the surface area of the sub is unchanged, area=area. so: f=parea, ghro/area=mg-> ro/(m area)=h. since mass (m) and the area are constant, and knowing that the derivative of the density (dro/dt) is 0, the depth change is negliable.

Thanks for posting the screenshot TF !

You're right - it's a feature, not a bug

I guess invisible subs are just one of many invisible things us Mac Civ'ers are getting used to (like an Editor, a 1.29 patch, oh, and did I mention PTW..)

Still not sure why I got those four light patches in the sea after launching - maybe it's the crew bailing out in rubber dinghys or something...?
