I have to questions concerning air resistance. Can someone please help me!?!??!

A 252 N bag of nails falls at its terminal speed. How much air resistance acts on the nails???

Here's a big hint:

"Terminal speed" means some constant speed. If it's falling at constant speed, what does that tell you about the NET force acting on it?
