In this case, as the meanings of the vectors are opposite, one of the forces receives the negative signal and thus a piece of the other vector is drawn, as shown in the figure. And to know the module of the resultant force, if it subtracts the modules of the forces.


F_(Net) = F_(grav) - F_(air)

F_(Net) = 600 - 400

\boxed{F_(Net) = 200N}
Answer:
B. 200N
