The mass of Amy and her bicycle is 60 kg. The mass of Josh and his bicycle is 90 kg. The cross-sectional area of Amy and her bicycle is 0.45, while the cross-sectional area of Josh and his bicycle is 0.60. The drag coefficient for both cyclists is 0.70. Other than gravity and air resistance, the external forces acting on the two bicycle and rider systems are the same. Which cyclist is more affected by air resistance? The answer is Amy, but I need help finding out how to solve it! Thanks!

Have you drawn fbd and labeled on the forces acting on each rider?
