The 1.2-Mg helicopter is traveling at a constant speed of 50m/s along the horizontal curved path while banking at ƒÆ = 30∘.


Part A
Determine the force acting normal to the blade, i.e., in the y�Œ direction.

well, the upward component is mg,

so cos30=mg/bladeforce
solve for blade force. This ignores forward directed force against air resistance.
13.5 kN
