Sasha is dragging some hockey equipment across the ice rink. The equipment (object 1) has a mass of 75.0[kg] and has another piece of equipment (object 2) with a mass of 35.0[kg] tethered to it. She pulls on the rope she is holding so that it has a tension of 783[N] and it makes an angle of 30o with respect to the horizontal direction. Friction is negligible. Find the magnitude of the tension in the cord connecting the two objects. Express your answer in units of N
