    Force of the helicopter is equivalent to weight for this case. Weight is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object and the acceleration. For this case, the acceleration would be the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.81 m/s^2. We calculate as follows:

    W = mg

    W = 1500 kg (9.81 m/s^2)

    W = 14715 N
