Since acceleration of block `w.r.t.` wedge (an accelerating or non -inference) is to br find out.

`FBD` of block `w.r.t.` is shown in figure.The acceleration would had been `g sin theta` (down the plane) if the lift were stationary or when only weight (i.e. m g) act downwards.
Here downward force is `m (g + a)`.
:. Acceleration of the block (of course `w.r.t.` wedge) will be `(g + a) sin theta` the plane.
