Question

How much lift force will it take to accelerate a 10,000 Kg helicopter upward at a rate of 3 m/2?

Answer 1

The force required to lift a helicopter with a mass of
`10,000 kg` and an acceleration of
`3 m/s^(2)` is
`30000 N`.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of mass and acceleration is force.

The formula below is used to calculate the amount of force required to lift the helicopter.

Formula:

Equation: F = ma

Where:

F = Force required to lift the helicopter

m = Mass of the helicopter

a = Helicopter Acceleration

Based on the question,

Given:

`m=10000 kg`

`a=3m/s^(2)`

Fill in the blanks with these values from equation 1.

F = 10000×3

F = 30000 N

As a result, the force required to lift the helicopter is 30000 N.
