In this problem, we have to find the total momentum of the system using the given information.

m1=3 kgm2=4 kgm3=7 kgv1=3 msv2=5 msv3=2 ms\begin{align*} m_1&=3\ \text{kg}\\ m_2&=4\ \text{kg}\\ m_3&=7\ \text{kg}\\ v_1&=3\ \frac{\text m}{\text s}\\ v_2&=5\ \frac{\text m}{\text s}\\ v_3&=2\ \frac{\text m}{\text s}\\ \end{align*}
