$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts equal and opposite forces for the same time $t$ on each toy cart. If the coefficients of friction $\mu$ between the ground and the toy carts are equal,then the ratio of the displacements of the toy carts is:

  • A
    $\frac{s_1}{s_2} = \frac{m_2}{m_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{s_1}{s_2} = \frac{m_1}{m_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{s_1}{s_2} = \left( \frac{m_2}{m_1} \right)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{s_1}{s_2} = \left( \frac{m_1}{m_2} \right)^2$

$A$ uniform wooden stick of mass $1.6 \,kg$ and length $l$ rests in an inclined manner on a smooth, vertical wall of height $h$ < $l$ such that a small portion of the stick extends beyond the wall. The reaction force of the wall on the stick is perpendicular to the stick. The stick makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the wall and the bottom of the stick is on a rough floor. The reaction of the wall on the stick is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the floor on the stick. Find the ratio $h/l$ and the frictional force $f$ at the bottom of the stick. $(g=10 \,m \,s^{-2})$
