While departing ZZZ we were cleared up to 7;000 feet and receiving vectors. The First Officer was hand flying and we received a TA alerting us to a crossing aircraft on the arrival that was leveling at 8;000 feet. I told the First Officer I had the traffic in sight; it was no factor and he had already begun leveling off. Due to our light aircraft and high rate of climb an RA was triggered. Since the First Officer was already hand flying and in the process of leveling off we complied with the RA and continued the flight uneventfully.Due to a light aircraft and dense air there was a high rate of climb. The First Officer was hand-flying and slowly leveling off while not busting altitude and triggered an RA.
While departing ZZZ for ZZZ1 we received a TCAS RA.  I; the First Officer; was hand-flying and cleared to 7;000 feet MSL. The Captain called traffic in sight as the system said 'traffic;' so I began to level off; while doing so we received 'monitor vertical speed' which I was already doing. This RA was likely triggered due to our light GTOW and high rate of climb. We continued the flight uneventfully.
Air Carrier flight crew reported receiving a TCAS RA during departure.  The TCAS RA was reportedly due to the aircraft's high rate of climb as a result of having a light gross takeoff weight.
