Answer

$F = 2.2\times 10^{-3}~N$

Work Step by Step

The vertical component of the tension $~~T_y = mg$ We an find an expression for the horizontal component of the tension: $\frac{T_x}{T_y} = tan~\theta$ $T_x = T_y~tan~\theta$ $T_x = mg~tan~\theta$ The force $F$ of the push is equal in magnitude to $T_x$ We can find $F$: $F = T_x$ $F = mg~tan~\theta$ $F = (3.0\times 10^{-4}~kg)(9.8~m/s^2)~tan~37^{\circ}$ $F = 2.2\times 10^{-3}~N$
