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
