Answer: 4.214 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ball reaches a constant terminal velocity, then the net force = 0 because the acceleration = 0

If we draw a free body diagram, we will find that all forces acting on the ball are:

  1. the force of gravity (downward)
  2. The force of Air resistance (upwards)

If F(net) = 0, then gravitational force = air resistance = Mass * free-fall acceleration = 0.43*9.8 = 4.214 N
