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

A

`(S_(1))/(S_(2))=+(m_(2))/(m_(1))`

B

`(S_(1))/(S_(2))=+(m_(1))/(m_(2))`

C

`(S_(1))/(S_(2))=+((m_(2))/(m_(1)))^(2)`

D

`(S_(1))/(S_(2))=+((m_(1))/(m_(2)))^(2)`
