Determining the force of the person

Reference no: EM1390839

Q. A 75 kg person escapes from a burning building by jumping from a window 25-m above a catching net. Assuming that air resistance exerts a 95-N force on the person all through the fall, determine out the person's velocity just before hitting the net.

My main problem is determining the force of the person. Do you take 9.81*75 and minus 95 to get the downward force of the person? Ok, thanks. I think I'm on the right track. Yes. The force down is mg minus air resistance.
