The work done by the force will be equal to the potentail energy gained by the mass.
Let L be the length of the string ,
F.d= MgL (1 -cos45 )
The horizontal displacement of the mass is d= L sin 45
F L sin45 = Mg L(1 - 45)
F = Mg (sq. root 2 - 1)

Let x be the force required
T Sin 45=M kg   …....1
T Cos45=x    ….......2
Divide equation 1 and 2,
1=M/x
x=M

Dear student,
Please find the solution to your problem attached herewith.
 
The work done by the force will be equal to the potentail energy gained by the mass.
Let L be the length of the string ,
F.d= MgL(1 – cos45)
The horizontal displacement of the mass is d = Lsin45
FLsin45 = MgL(1 – cos45)
F = (2 - 1)Mg
 
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
Kushagra
