A water skier has a mass of 68 kg.

Calculate the resultant force acting on the water skier while accelerating.

Everybody is making something tough out of something easy.
Everybody knows the formula [ Force = (mass) x (acceleration) ]. Right ?
We're supposed to find the force on the skier when the skier is accelerating, and it gives us the skier's mass. So there you are !
Net force on the skier = (64 kg) x (the skier's acceleration).
It depends on the skier's acceleration, which we're not told. More acceleration = the result of more net force. More net force = the cause of more acceleration.
And that is absolutely everything that you can do with the information that's given in this question.

To find the resultant force on the water skier while accelerating, we use the formula F = m * a. The skier's mass is 68 kg, but the acceleration is not provided, so the force can be expressed as F = 68 kg * a. To calculate the actual force, the acceleration must be known.
