Answer:
Net force = 250 N
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a teacher, m = 75 kg
As the parachute opens, the system experiences a 1000N drag.
We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the teacher. 2 forces are acting on her i.e. drag force and weight.
Net force,
F = mg-D
= 75(10)-1000
= -250 N
Hence, the net force is 250 N and it is acting in the upward direction.
