Practice Problem 19.48 Mastering Physics

The question says:

The electric field between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is horizontal, uniform, and has a magnitude E. A small object with a charge of -2.12 \mu C is attached to the string. The tension in the string is 0.310 N, and the angle it makes with the vertical is 12 ^\circ.

What is the mass of the object?

What is the magnitude of the electric field?


Not sure where to even begin here.... help?
