Answer

$1.77\space s$

Work Step by Step

Please see the image first. We can apply equation $F=ma$ to $m_{1},m_{2}$ separately to find its acceleration as follows. $m_{2}=\gt\space \rightarrow F=ma$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $T=326\times10^{-3}\space kg\times a-(1)$ $m_{1}=\gt \space \downarrow F=ma$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $14.9\times10^{-3}g-T= 14.9\times10^{-3}\space kg\times a-(2)$ $(1)=\gt(2)$ $14.9\times10^{-3}\times 9.8\space kgm/s^{2}-326\times10^{-3}a\space kg=14.9\times10^{-3}a\space kg$ $146.02\space m/s^{2}=340.9\space a$ $0.43\space m/s^{2}=a$ We can apply the equation $S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ to $m_{2}$ $\rightarrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $67.2\times10^{-2}\space m=0+\frac{1}{2}(0.43\space m/s^{2})t^{2}$ $t=1.77\space s$ It takes 1.77 seconds $m_{2}$ to reach the end of the track.
