Which answer would be correct
Dear Student,
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 ms-2
Net acceleration of the body downward is, a = 9.5 ms-2
Let, F be the force due to air drag,
Fair = maair
Since the body has the net acceleration ‘a’ in the downward direction,
Therefore,
ma = mg - maair
=> Fair = mg – ma
=> Fair = 0.05 (9.8 – 9.5) = 0.015 N
Hence, option 1 is correct.
