Solution

Answer : 1 Mark
Explanation : 1 Mark

The frictional force exerted by fluids is also called drag. This friction in fluids is nothing but its viscosity that acts in the same way as friction.The faster or larger a moving object is, the greater is the fluid friction resisting the motion. That's why there is higher drag against the parachute than the user's body.
