try solving this question of physics.?
A person has a mass of 80 kg. They go for a run with a constant speed of 3.5 m/s. When running against a resistive wind force they have to generate 50 W more power than running with the same wind force. How strong is the force due to the wind?

If you run x1 meters against wind, the work you produce is A1=F*x1+f*x1; F is the force of your muscles to overcome the resistance of air with no wind, f is the force of the wind in your face. Let x1 be covered in time t1, then P1=A1/t1 is your power against the wind.
If you run x2 meters with the wind, the work you produce is A2=F*x2-f*x2; F & f being the same.
Let x2 be covered in time t2, then P2=A2/t2 is your power with the wind. They say that dP=P1-P2=50W or dP=(F+f)*(x1/t1)-(F-f)*(x2/t2). As x1/t1=x2/t2=v, then dP=2*f*v. Thus f=dP/(2*v)=50/7=7.14N is the force of the wind, m=80kg is excessive datum!
