$A$ 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 $.....$ .
