Given:
The mass of the Darin is m = 75.5 kg
The air resistance is
[tex]F_a=128\text{ N}[/tex]Required: Darin's acceleration.
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law, the downward force will be
[tex]F_g=\text{ mg}[/tex]Here, g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.
On substituting the values, the downward force will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} F_g=75.5\times(-9.8) \\ =\text{ -739.9 N} \end{gathered}[/tex]The net force will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} F_{net}=\text{ F}_g+F_a \\ =-739.9+128 \\ =-611.9\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer: Darin's acceleration is -611.9 N
