Answer:
F = 316.22 N
Explanation:
Given that,
The wind blows a jay bird south with a force of 300 Newtons.
The jay bird flies north, against the wind, with a force of 100 newtons.
Both the forces are acting perpendicular to each other. The net force is given by the resultant of forces as follows :
[tex]F=\sqrt{300^2+100^2} \\\\F=316.22\ N[/tex]
Hence, the net force on the jay bird is 316.22 N.
