A block of mass 5kg is at rest on a smooth horizontal table, and connected to blocks of 3kg and 4kg which are hanging by strings via pulleys on either end of the table. Find the acceleration of the system and the tension in each string.

[would draw diagram to make easier].
We can use Newton's Second Law (F=ma) to resolve the forces acting on each of the blocks (label string on 3kg side T1 and on 4kg side T2, an...
