Do a moment balance around each pulley.
Can you please tell me how to do that?

Have you not yet learned about how to do balances of moments on rigid bodies?
 
This looks very much like a homework question? If so you should really post it in the homework section where you will find a template.

Definitely looks like homework that should be re-posted in Introductory Physics Homework. Thread closed.
