A helicopter is slowly accelerating straight upwards at a rate of 1.6 m/s². If the helicopter blades have to generate an upward force of 8400 N in order to cause this, then what must be the mass of the helicopter? (Take the acceleration of gravity g = 9.81 ) 92 * kg Now suppose the helicopter pilot reaches his desired speed, and no longer wants to accelerate (just maintain his upward velocity). How much force will the blades have to generate at this point? Submit
