Need some help with this question. For a I have tension one which goes away from the 1kg block and tension 2 which goes away from the 5kg block. Tension 1 would be just 9.81N because it is the opposite of 1g and the other tension would be 9.81 as the block is exerting that force.
Not sure how you do b?

Tension in the string is constant. You will need to consider components in order to determine the frictional force.
