A small underwater research probe is held in equilibrium by three coplanar tension forces: T1\mathbf{T}_1T1​, T2\mathbf{T}_2T2​, and T3\mathbf{T}_3T3​, as shown in the free-body diagram below.

Free body diagram

Given that T1=−12i+5j N\mathbf{T}_1 = -12\mathbf{i} + 5\mathbf{j}\text{ N}T1​=−12i+5j N and T2=4i+10j N\mathbf{T}_2 = 4\mathbf{i} + 10\mathbf{j}\text{ N}T2​=4i+10j N, find the magnitude of the tension force T3\mathbf{T}_3T3​.
