Methods of momentum

The blocks of mass m1 and m2 have on the smooth inclined planes. If they are at rest initially, find out the speed of the blocks after time t. Let T be the tension in the string, V the final speed.

Applying impulse momentum equation to m2

Similarly, applying, the impulse momentum equation to m1

Similarly, applying, the impulse momentum equation to m1

Thus,
