Homework Statement

I have to find the acceleration (magnitude and direction)
Tension in T1, and T2
Homework Equations
a = F/m P = F/A Fg = mg
The Attempt at a Solution
Well, i figured out the acceleration, by finding the difference in Fg between the two sides, and dividing that by the mass. I get .75m/s^2. Using that, I can get that the net force is 7kgx.75m/s^2 = 5.25N
I don't know how to get from there to the tension, mostly b/c the forces are changed by gravity, and tension is affected by gravity.
