We won't simply give you the answer to this homework problem. But t get you started - I suggest you first draw a free body diagram with the forces that are acting on the skydiver's body. Then consider the fact that his velocity is constant - what does that mean regarding the net force acting on his body? Post back with your attempt at this and we'll help you along of you are still stuck.
