While skydiving, U.S Navy and Marine Corps Parachutist opens her parachute and her 55-kg body immediately accelerates upward for an instant at 8.66 m/s2. Determine the upward force experienced by the Parachutist during this instant.

The force acting on an object is given by
where:
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
Solving for F
F = ma
F = (55 kg)(8.66 m/s²)
Therefore, the upward force is 476.3 N.
