Two boxes of fruit on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a light string as in the figure below, where \( m_{1}=13 \mathrm{~kg} \) and \( m_{2}=24 \mathrm{~kg} \). A force of \( F=66 \mathrm{~N} \) is applied to the \( 24-\mathrm{kg} \) box. (1) (a) Determine the acceleration of each box and the tension in the string. acceleration of \( m_{1} \quad \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) acceleration of \( m_{2} \quad \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) tension in the string (b) Repeat the problem for the case where the coefficient of kinetic friction between each box and the surface is \( 0.10 \). acceleration of \( m_{1} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) acceleration of \( m_{2} \quad \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) tension in the string
