Options:
  • A $m \sqrt{g^{2}+a^{2}}$
  • B $m \sqrt{g^{2}+a^{2}}-m a$
  • C $\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\mathrm{ma}$
  • D $\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{a})$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\mathrm{ma}$
Applying Newton's law

along string

$$

\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}-\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}=\mathrm{ma}

$$

or $\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\mathrm{g}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\mathrm{ma}$
