In a simple Atwood's machine, two unequal masses `m_1= 5 kg` , `m_2 = 2 kg` are connected by a string going over a clamped light smooth pulley. Now a constant force F = 1 N is applied on each mass in vertically downward direction. The ratio of acceleration of either block before and after applying the force will be
