Solve Tension Problem: Two Blocks Connected by String, Force of 165N

[Miike012]

Two blocks are connected by a string and are pulled vertically upward by a force of 165 N applied to the upper block...

1. find the tension T in the string connecting the blocks.

First off.. are my body diagrams correct?

I'm sure all I've drawn are correct other than the two tension forces...?

Good start, I probably would have drawn the Tension on the 1.00 kg above the body - like you did with the force F on the 2.00 kg body.

I probably would have drawn all forces starting at their point of action. Centre of mass for Weight, Contact point for the others.

Thank you.
Can some one give me a clue on how to find the answer to question (1)?
