Two short magnets with pole strengths of 100 ab ampere-cm and 64 ab ampere-cm are placed with their axes in the same vertical line, with similar poles facing each other. Each magnet has a length of 1 cm. When separation between the nearer poles is 1cm, the weight of upper magnet is supported by the repulsive force between the magnets. If g=1000 cm s-2, then the mass of upper magnet is
