Can you calculate the weight of a sphere of 9 m of displaced water ?
No ? Well, it is 382 tons.

Metric strikes again.
I bet you didn’t even have to convert through football fields, elephants, or olympic sized swimming pools!

indeed i made a very simplified calculation not taking into account increase density of salted water nor increased density because of compressibility of water at 500 m deep. Basically i took 1m³(water) is 1 (metric) ton.
