$A$ block is lying at rest inside a bus. What is the maximum acceleration of the bus such that the block remains stationary? (The static friction coefficient $\mu = 0.2$,acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.
Statement-$II$: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ man of weight $mg$ is in a lift moving up with an acceleration of $4g$. The apparent weight of the man in the lift is:

Select the correct statement regarding pseudo force.

The readings shown in two extended spring balances,$S_1$ and $S_2$,are $60\,kg$ and $30\,kg$ respectively. The lift is accelerating upward with an acceleration of $10\,m/s^2$. The mass $m$ is stationary with respect to the lift. Then the mass of the block will be ......... $kg$. (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)
