There is a given inclined plane with tension indiciated moving up the plane.

#271 The plane above is frictionless and inclined at 30 degrees. The mass is 10kg. If the tension T in the rope is a constant 75 N, and the mass starts from rest, what is the velocity of the mass after 2 seconds?

up vs. down the plane --> I know this must be up the plane

2.5 m/s vs. 5 m/s vs. 7.5 m/s --> I'm torn here

I know the forces moving up the inclined plane must be greater.

The last remaining pieces are:

Fnet = ma & T = mgsin30

I seem to muck this question up when balancing the forces. I believe the tension force and acceleration force must be on the same side of the equation ( T + ma = mgsin30 ) however the solution shows T = mgsin30 + ma

Any clarification would be great!
