An object is submerged in a swimming pool and of course the water exerts a buoyant force on the object. Suppose a thousand gallons of oil is spilled into the pool and now floats above the water.
 
  How is the buoyant force on the object changed by the overlying oil?

Answer to Question 1

No change at all as long as the density of the water remains unchanged. After all, the buoyant force depends upon the volume displaced and the DENSITY of the water.

Answer to Question 2

D

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
