In the case of a paramecium moving at a constant speed, there is no net force acting on it.

The paramecium's cilia exerts a force on water that is equal to the force that the water exerts on the paramecium's cilia, according to Newton's third law.

The strength of the viscous force the water is exerting on the paramecium will be equal to the strength of the force the paramecium's cilia are exerting on the water.

How does Paramecium use cilia?

Cilia, or tiny strands like hair, cover the whole surface of parasites like cilia, which beat rhythmically to move them and guide bacteria and other food particles into their mouths.
