A helicopter of mass 6000 kg accelerates upwards at a rate of 0.50 m/s^2 while lifting a 2500 kg piece of concrete. What is the upward force exerted by the rotors of the helicopter? What is the tension in the cable attaching the concrete to the helicopter?

F - (8500 *9.81) = 8500 * 0.50

F = 8500 * 10.31 = 87,635 Newtons

F cable - ( 2500* 9.81) = 2500 * 0.50
