**Title: Analyzing Tensions in a Three-Rope System**

**Introduction:**

The three ropes in the figure are tied to a small, very light ring. Two of these ropes are anchored to walls at right angles with the tensions shown in the figure.

**Figure Explanation:**

- The diagram displays a small ring to which three ropes are attached.
- The first rope (\(T_1\)) is horizontal with a tension of 50 N and attached 0.80 m away from the ring.
- The second rope (\(T_2\)) is vertical with a tension of 80 N, positioned 0.60 m from the ring.
- The third rope (\(T_3\)) points diagonally downward away from the ring, with the magnitude and direction of its tension to be determined.

**Part A:**

**Question:**
What is the magnitude of the tension \(T_3\) in the third rope?

*Express your answer using two significant figures.*

**Answer Box:**
\[ T_3 = \_\_\_\_ \, \text{N} \]

**Part B:**

**Question:**
What is the direction of the tension \(T_3\) in the third rope?

*Express your answer using two significant figures.*

**Answer Box:**
\[ \theta = \_\_\_\_ \, ^\circ \text{ below horizontal} \]
