Two pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In figure $(a)$,the mass $m$ is lifted by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In figure $(b)$,$m$ is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2mg$. The accelerations of $m$ in the two cases are respectively:
