Two unequal masses $A$ and $B$ moving along a straight line are brought to rest by equal retarding forces. If $A$ takes double the time taken by $B$ to come to rest and $A$ travels $\frac{2}{3}$ of the distance covered by $B$ before coming to rest,then the ratio of masses of $A$ and $B$ is . . . . . . .

  • A
    $1: 6$
  • B
    $6: 1$
  • C
    $1: 12$
  • D
    $12: 1$

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.)
