The four blades of a Blackhawk helicopter require 36 seconds to a maximum speed of 1800 rpms. An individual blade weight 64 kg and has a length of 5.2 m.

(a) Calculate how much power it takes to maintain a rotation of 1200 rpms.

(b) What is the total angular momentum of the helicopter’s blades during part a)

(c) When the helicopter blades rotate faster than the maximum rotation, the engine will over heat. If one of the blades broke off midflight (during part a), then determine whether or not the helicopter be in danger.
