Homework Statement
A parachutist experiences an air friction force of 150 N and an acceleration of 7.9 m/s^2. What is the combined weight of the parachutist and the parachute?
Homework Equations
None.
The Attempt at a Solution
a= (Fg-Ff)/(m)
7.9 = (mg-Ff)/(m)
7.9 = (m(9.8)-(150N))/(m)
And that is as far as I could go. I thought I was using the right formula but I do not know for sure. Thanks.
