In the arrangement shown in the figure,if the blocks of masses $m$ and $2m$ are released from rest,find the tension in the string. (Given: $\mu_1 = 2/3$ for mass $m$,$\mu_2 = 1/3$ for mass $2m$,the string is massless and inextensible,and the pulley is frictionless.)

The graph below shows the variation of a force $F$ with time $t$ on a body which is moving in a straight line. The dependence of force on time is $F \propto t^{n}$. Initially,the body is at rest. If the speed of the object is $2 \, m/s$ at $3 \, s$,then the speed at $4 \, s$ will be approximately (in $m/s$):

$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts an equal and opposite force on each cart for the same time $t$. If the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the ground and the carts is the same,find the ratio of the displacements of the two toy carts.
