**Problem Statement:**

1. Three blocks, with masses \( m_1 = 5.60 \, \text{kg} \), \( m_2 = 5.10 \, \text{kg} \), and \( m_3 = 7.80 \, \text{kg} \), are pulled on a horizontal frictionless surface by a \( 19.0 \, \text{N} \) force that makes a \( 28.0^\circ \) angle (\( \theta \)) with the horizontal (see figure). What is the magnitude of the tension between the \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) blocks?

\[ \boxed{ \quad } \, \text{N} \]

**Diagram Explanation:**

Below the problem statement is an illustration showing the three blocks aligned horizontally from left to right labeled \( m_3 \), \( m_2 \), and \( m_1 \), respectively:

- There are connecting ropes between each block.
- A force \( \vec{F} \) is applied at an angle \( \theta = 28.0^\circ \) to the \( m_1 \) block, pulling all three blocks.
- The direction of the force \( \vec{F} \) is indicated by an arrow going upward to the right, making an angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal.

Educational Note:

- The tension in the rope between \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) is being sought.
- Given that the surface is frictionless, the only horizontal forces to consider are those due to tension and the horizontal component of the applied force.
- Breaking down the force components and analyzing each block’s motion using Newton's second law can help solve for the tension.

**Interactive Calculation Tools:**

A possible interactive element could include solving for the tension step by step:

1. Calculate \( \vec{F} \)'s horizontal component \( F_x = F \cos(\theta) \).
2. Determine the acceleration \( a \) of the system by combining all the blocks' masses and applying \( \sum F = (m_1 + m_2 + m_3) \cdot a \).
3. Apply Newton's second law to the isolated system formed by \( m_2 \) and \( m_3 \) to solve for the tension in the rope between \( m_
