    acceleration=2.0833 m/s^2

    Tension in rope A=104.167 N

    Tension in rope B=62.5 N

    Explanation

    mass of sleds are 10,20 and 30 Kg respectively.

    Total mass = 60 kg

    F=ma

    a=f/m

    f=125 N

    a=125/60

    a=2.0833 m/s^2

    Now using equation of equilibrium

    F-Ta=ma*a

    Ta=F-ma*a

    Ta=125 - (10*2.0833)

    Ta=104.167 N

    Tb=mc*a

    Tb=30*2.0833

    Tb=62.5 N
