The drone hovers for 29 seconds at a height of 53 meters above the ground while taking a picture of a crowd. What is the vertical impulse by the lift force (combined force of the four rotors) during this time (in Newton-seconds)?

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

All of the questions for this quiz involve a drone with a mass of 1.2 kg.

The drone hovers for 29 seconds at a height of 53 meters above the ground while taking a picture of a crowd. What is the vertical impulse by the lift force (combined force of the four rotors) during this time (in Newton-seconds)?

Answer: the vertical impulse is 341.388 Ns

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mass m = 1.2 kg

t = 29 sec

h = 53 m

vertical impulse = ?

Vertical impulse by lift force is given as;

Vertical Impulse = F × t

= mg × t

so we substitute

Vertical impulse = 1.2 ×9.81 × 29

= 341.388 Ns

therefore the vertical impulse is 341.388 Ns
