04. Force and Translational Equilibrium

C3 C1 L3 Trans Equal V1

This *monorotor* is currently hovering in place.

This monorotor is currently hovering in place.

The monorotor shown above is currently hovering in place. What can you say about the value of F_\text{thrust}?

SOLUTION: F_\text{thrust} must be **equal to** 100 Newtons.

Which of the following is the correct expression for the mass of this vehicle?

SOLUTION: m = 100 / 9.81

If a monorotor's propellor were providing the thrust upwards that you just identified, what kind of equilibrium would the monorotor be in?

SOLUTION: Translational Equilibrium only
