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