Question:
Let us treat a helicopter rotor blade as a long thin rod, as shown in Fig. 8-49.
(a) If each of the three rotor helicopter blades is 3.75 m long and has a mass of 135 kg, calculate the moment of inertia of the three rotor blades about the axis of rotation.
(b) How much torque must the motor apply to bring the blades from rest up to a speed of 6.0 rev/s in 8.0 s?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
