$A$ $0.5\ kg$ mass of lead is submerged in a container filled to the brim with water and a block of wood floats on top. The lead mass is slowly lifted from the container by a thin wire and as it emerges into air the level of the water in the container drops a bit. The lead mass is now placed on the block of wood. As the lead is placed on the wood,what happens to the water level in the container?

An empty glass jar is submerged in a tank of water with the open mouth of the jar downwards, so that the air inside the jar is trapped and cannot escape. As the jar is pushed down slowly, the magnitude of the net buoyant force on the system of the volume of gas trapped in the jar and the jar:
