Answer:

Option b.

Explanation:

Weight of skydiver = mass × acceleration due to gravity

= 113 × 9.81 N

= 1108.53 N

Now,

The weight is acting downwards and air resistance is acting upwards. So,

Net force = weight - air resistance

Net force = 1108.53 - 660

Net force = 448.53

Closest value is option b.

Answer:

b
