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