PLEASE HELP FAST!!!!

As a pendulum swings , the angle (theta) that it makes with the vertical changes through its swing. The force of gravity pulling on the bob is given by F=mg sin (theta), where g is equal to 9.8m/s^2. If the mass of the pendulum is 0.01 kg, what is the force pulling on the pendulum when it makes a 22.5 degree angle with the vertical?

For this case what we should do is use the given equation:
F = mg sin (theta)
And replace the following values:
m = 0.01 kg
g = 9.8m / s ^ 2
theta = 22.5 degrees
Substituting we have:
F = (0.01) * (9.8) * sin (22.5)
F = 0.037502976 N
Answer:
The force pulling on the pendulum when it makes a 22.5 degree angle with the vertical is:
F = 0.037502976 N
