Two blocks of masses $1 \ kg$ and $2 \ kg$ are connected by a light rod and the system is slipping down a rough incline at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction at both contacts is $0.4$. If the acceleration of the system is $\alpha \sqrt{2} \ m/s^2$, find the value of $\alpha$. (Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
