Three blocks with masses m1=5kg, m2=10kg and m3=7kg are connected by two pieces of very light strings. The system is being pulled by a force P=88N on a frictionless flat surface.

a) Find the acceleration of the system. (Hint: treat all masses together as ONE SYSTEM.[ignore the tension for this part].

b) Find the tensions in both pieces of string.
