    Net external force acting on the rock when it is at the top of its trajectory is force due to gravity (mg).

    Explanation:

    The forces acting on a rock thrown up are force due to gravity and air resistance. Air resistance is directly proportional to velocity of rock, when velocity is zero air resistance is zero. When it is at the top of its trajectory its velocity is zero. So air resistance is also zero. Hence only gravitational force acts on the rock.

    Net external force acting on the rock when it is at the top of its trajectory is force due to gravity (mg).
