Two tugboats tow a barge straight ahead. One rope makes a 45∘45^\circ angle to the left of the forward direction and the other makes a 30∘30^\circ angle to the right. The resultant of the two rope tensions is a force of 1212 kN pointing straight ahead. Find the exact tension in the 45∘45^\circ rope, in kN.
