Problem 19.
Two blocks slide toward each other on a frictionless surface. Block 1 moves to the right with a velocity of \(4 a \), and block 2 moves to the left with a velocity of \( a \), where \( a \) is a parameter. After the blocks collide, if block 1 travels to the right with a velocity of \( a \), and block 2 travels to the right with a velocity of \(5 a \), what is the ratio of the mass of block 1 to the mass of block \(2\left(m_{1}/ m_{2}\right)\)?
