The mass of a helicopter is 0.5 t. Its engine develops a force of 8500 N before taking off. What is the acceleration of the helicopter at the time of taking off? (Give your answer in ms^-2)

___

Open in App

Solution

Calculate acceleration using, F = ma

Mass of a helicopter = 0.5 t = 0.5 $\times$ 1000 = 500 kg

Force = 8500 N

Acceleration = ?

F = ma

8500 = 500 $\times$ a

a = 17 ${m s}^{- 2}$
