I think you mean "rotated by a string", which is to say a 0.4-kg mass is suspended from a string and swung around in a circle with constant speed.
The centripetal acceleration a of the object is
a = V² / R
where R is the length of the string, 1 m, so that
a = V² / (1 m) = V² m⁻¹
As the mass goes through its uniform circular motion, the only relevant force acting on it is tension with magnitude T, pointing in the direction in which the mass is accelerating (the center of its circular path). By Newton's second law,
T = ma
where m is the object's mass, 0.4 kg. Then
3 N = (0.4 kg) (V² m⁻¹)
⇒ V² = (3 N) / (0.4 kg) • (1 m) = 7.5 m²/s²
⇒ V ≈ 2.74 m/s
