Homework Statement
I have a strip of foil with an area of 10 square cm and a mass of .561392 grams. The length of the foil is 5 cm and the width is 2 cm. The foil is hanging from a pivot point at the very top. The foil rotates 17 degrees backwards from where it started. The foil is in a sealed container where no outside factors are acting on it except for this wind. I cannot figure out how much force the wind that is pushing the foil back is exerting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried to find ways to solve this, but none have worked. The wind speed is so slight, an extremely sensitive anemometer won't pick it up.
