Answer:
New position = -525 ft or 525 ft below the sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets h be the height of the sea.
Given:
A submarine was situated 800 feet below sea level.
It is ascends 275 feet.
We know that h = 0 on the surface of the sea.
When we go below the surface vertically inside the sea the height will become negative.
So the submarine was situated h = -800 feet below the sea level, and it is ascends 275 feet from -800 feet.
So the new height of the submarine is.
[tex]h = -800 + 275[/tex]
[tex]h = -525\ ft[/tex]
Therefore the new position of the submarine is 525 below the sea level.
