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 displacement of the toy carts are in the ratio

  • 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

    $\frac{{{s_1}}}{{{s_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} \right)^2}$
