Mass of sphere A is 100 g and that of B is 250 g. They are put on the smooth surface of a table and are connected to the two ends of an extended, weightless spring. When both spheres are released at the same time, initial acceleration of B becomes 10 cm`cdot s^(-2)` towards east. Find the magnitude and direction of initial acceleration of A.
