After an incident over the mid-semester break involving a packet of Maltesers, a flooded creek,
and a wombat, a 15,000 kg salvage helicopter is lifting a 4,500 kg truck with an upward
acceleration of 1.4 m.s-2. Calculate:
1) The force the air exerts on the helicopter blades.
2) The tension in the cable between the truck and the helicopter
1. F = ma, so we know the mass is (15000 + 4500)
and would the acceleration be (9.8 + 1.4)?
2. Would T = m1*g + m1a?
