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.)

Two balls of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are separated from each other by a powder charge placed between them. The whole system is at rest on the ground. Suddenly,the powder charge explodes and the masses are pushed apart. The mass $m_1$ travels a distance $s_1$ and stops. If the coefficients of friction between the balls and the ground are the same,the mass $m_2$ stops after travelling the distance:
