Background
Submarines are vessels which can be operated independently underwater. They are typically used for warfare, transport of goods, and exploration of under the water. In order to carry out all of these functions effectively, and do that they can travel through the water, they must be streamlined and made of a sturdy material. Typically, submarines are made of alloy steel and titanium, two very strong metals which can withstand the pressure of being underwater in the sea. For this reason we decided to test different metals of different densities to see which material would be best suited to building submarines.
The shape of the submarine is also highly important in helping the submarine carry out its function. Therefore the submarine is a streamlined, cylindrical, hollow vessel. In order to test that this was the best shape for the submarine, we measured the time that different shapes took to travel through water.
