When particle starts sliding, friction on it is equal to limiting friction.

Now normal force = m (g + b)

Let retardation up the board = relative to the elevator .

Now, v2 = u2 +2as

Solving 40 + 4 a + 3a = 20
. . . (iii)
Now considering motion of the block down the plane

Let acceleration of the block relative to elevator = this time.
Hence :
v2 = u2 + 2x where v = 4 m/s , u = 0
Hence = 5 m/s2
x = 1.6 m
Now horizontal component of resultant acceleration
= cos 370 = 4 m/s2
vertical component of resultant acceleration = a - sin 370
= (a - 3) m/s2
Hence :
N1 cos 370 + N1 sin 370 - mg = m (a - 3)

N1 sin 370 - N1 cos 370 = m (4)

900 = - 30 a
a = - 30 m/s 2 (i.e. upwards)
