This problem must be solved in two stages. First we will determine the peak-peak current in the resistor and then we shall convert this value into a corresponding r.m.s. quantity.

Since I  =  \frac{V}{R} we can infer that I_{pk-pk}  =  \frac{V_{pk-pk}}{R}

From which I_{pk-pk}  =  \frac{10}{1,000} = 0.01 = 10 mA pk-pk

The required multiplying factor (peak-peak to r.m.s.) is 0.353. Thus:

I_{r.m.s.}  =  0.353  ×  I_{pk-pk}  =  0.353  ×  10  =  3.53  mA
