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 $y=8\left[1+\sin \left(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)\right]$, where $T=40 \pi \mathrm{~s}$. Taking acceleration due to gravity, $g=10$ $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2$, the maximum variation of the object's weight (in N ) as observed in the experiment is ___________.

Two particles, 1 and 2, each of mass $m$, are connected by a massless spring, and are on a horizontal frictionless plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, the two particles, with their center of mass at $x_0$, are oscillating with amplitude $a$ and angular frequency $\omega$. Thus, their positions at time $t$ are given by $x_1(t)=\left(x_0+d\right)+a \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t)=\left(x_0-d\right)-a \sin \omega t$, respectively, where $d>2 a$. Particle 3 of mass $m$ moves towards this system with speed $u_0=a \omega / 2$, and undergoes instantaneous elastic collision with particle 2 , at time $t_0$. Finally, particles 1 and 2 acquire a center of mass speed $v_{\mathrm{cm}}$ and oscillate with amplitude $b$ and the same angular frequency $\omega$.

If the collision occurs at time $t_0=0$, the value of $v_{\mathrm{cm}} /(a \omega)$ will be ______.

A particle of mass $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ is subjected to a force which depends on the position as $\vec{F}=$ $-k(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}) \mathrm{kg}\, \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{-2}$ with $k=1 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$. At time $t=0$, the particle's position $\vec{r}=$ $\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\imath}+\sqrt{2} \hat{\jmath}\right) m$ and its velocity $\vec{v}=\left(-\sqrt{2} \hat{\imath}+\sqrt{2} \hat{\jmath}+\frac{2}{\pi} \hat{k}\right) m s^{-1}$. Let $v_{x}$ and $v_{y}$ denote the $x$ and the $y$ components of the particle's velocity, respectively. Ignore gravity. When $z=0.5 \mathrm{~m}$, the value of $\left(x v_{y}-y v_{x}\right)$ is __________ $m^{2} s^{-1}$.
