$A$ block $A$ of mass $m_1$ rests on a horizontal table. $A$ light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of the table,and from its other end,another block $B$ of mass $m_2$ is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block $A$ and the table is $\mu_k$. When the block $A$ is sliding on the table,the tension in the string is:

  • A
    $\frac{m_1 m_2 (1 + \mu_k) g}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_1 m_2 (1 - \mu_k) g}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{(m_2 + \mu_k m_1) g}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{(m_2 - \mu_k m_1) g}{m_1 + m_2}$

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:
