Question

A skydiver jumped out of an airplane. The skydiver did not release a parachute right away. Shortly after jumping, the skydiver was moving downward and speeding up at a rate of 3.5 meters per second squared. Assume that the only significant forces on the skydiver were gravity (which pulls down with g = 9.8 meters per second squared) and air resistance. The skydiver (with all clothing, parachute, etc.) had a mass of 87 kg. What was the magnitude of the force (in newtons) of air resistance on the skydiver at this time?
