$A$ person sitting inside an elevator performs a weighing experiment with an object of mass $50 \ kg$. Suppose that the variation of the height $y$ (in $m$) of the elevator,from the ground,with time $t$ (in $s$) is given by $y = 8[1 + \sin(\frac{2 \pi t}{T})]$,where $T = 40 \pi \ s$. Taking acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$,the maximum variation of the object's weight (in $N$) as observed in the experiment is $.....$ .

$A$ solid sphere of mass $2\, kg$ is resting inside a cube as shown in the figure. The cube is moving with a velocity $\vec v = (5t\,\hat i + 2t\,\hat j)\,m/s$. Here $t$ is the time in seconds. All surfaces are smooth. The sphere is at rest with respect to the cube. Find the total force $N$ exerted by the sphere on the cube. (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)
