Is there any force exerted on the human body by wind? If yes, which one and how?
Yes, there is a force known as Drag force, is exerted on a human body or on any object by the wind.
Drag, sometimes also called air resistance, (a type of friction, or fluid resistance) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid (air and water). This can exist between two fluid layers (or surfaces) or a fluid and a solid surface.
In other words, it is a mechanical force generated by the interaction and contact of a solid body moving through a fluid like water or air.
It is directed opposite to the velocity of the body, and unlike other resistive forces, such as dry friction, which are nearly independent of velocity, drag force depends on the velocity of the body. Higher velocity equals to the higher drag force.
Example- A car driving on a highway, A swimmer swimming in a pool, An aeroplane flying in the air, etc.
