Problem

A person sitting inside an elevator performs a weighing experiment with an object of mass 50 kg. Suppose that the variation of the height yy (in m) of the elevator, from the ground, with time tt (in s) is given by y=8[1+sin⁡(2πtT)]y = 8\left[ 1 + \sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{T}\right) \right], where T=40πT = 40\pi s. Taking acceleration due to gravity, g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2, the maximum variation of the object's weight (in N) as observed in the experiment is _____
