Orthogonality & Least Squares · Medium problem

A drone experiences a total aerodynamic force F=(10,−2)\mathbf F = (10, -2) N. Its drag acts purely along its velocity direction v=(4,3)\mathbf v = (4, 3), while the remaining (lift) force is perpendicular to v\mathbf v. Find the magnitude of the lift force.
