A rugby player kicks a 400 g ball with an initial speed of 25 m/s. The initial velocity vector makes an angle of 40° with the horizontal. The wind blowing in the stadium applies a constant horizontal drag force of magnitude FD to the moving ball. As a result, the ball's displacement is divided by 2 compared to the ball's displacement if there is no drag force. Calculate FD.
