Scallops use jet propulsion to move from one place to another. Their shells make them denser than water, so they normally rest on ocean floor. If a scallop wishes to remain stationary , hovering a fixed distance above the ocean floor, it must eject water so that the thrust force on the scallop is a) upward upward
b) upward downward
c)downward upward
d)downward downward
I do not understand why must the answer be c. Why can't the answer be b?

The force acting on a beam was measured under the same operating conditions and a sample of 5 data points was collected. this process was repeated by 3 observers. the pooled standard deviations of these 3 data sets was 1.21. determine the true mean force using all pooled data (with a 95% probability). the result should look like this: true mean = mean +/- margin of error
