How Does Newton's Third Law Apply to Tension in a Dog Sled Scenario?

[mcryder16]

Homework Statement

The sled dog drags sleds A and B across the snow. The coefficient of friction between the sleds and the snow is 0.1. If the tension in the rope 1 is 142 N, what is the tension in rope 2? (M=112 kg, m=60 kg.)
