An elevator accelerates upwards at a constant rate. $A$ uniform string of length $L$ and mass $m$ supports a small block of mass $M$ that hangs from the ceiling of the elevator. The tension at distance $l$ from the ceiling is $T$. The acceleration of the elevator is

  • A
    $\frac{T}{M + m - \frac{ml}{L}} - g$
  • B
    $\frac{T}{2M + m - \frac{ml}{L}} - g$
  • C
    $\frac{T}{M + \frac{ml}{L}} - g$
  • D
    $\frac{T}{2M - m + \frac{ml}{L}} - g$
