Two boxes are at the same temperature. The first box contains gas with molecular mass $m_1$ and rms speed $v_1$. The second box contains gas with molecular mass $m_2$ and average speed $v_2$. If $v_1 = 1.5 v_2$,then $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is

$A$ vessel is partitioned into two equal halves by a fixed diathermic separator. Two different ideal gases are filled in the left $(L)$ and right $(R)$ halves. The rms speed of the molecules in the $L$ part is equal to the mean speed of the molecules in the $R$ part. Then the ratio of the mass of a molecule in the $L$ part to that of a molecule in the $R$ part is
