$A$ boy whose mass is $50\,kg$ stands on a spring balance inside a lift. The lift starts to ascend with an acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$. The reading of the machine or balance $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$ is ........ $kg$.

$A$ 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 $g = 10\, m/s^2$)
