Question:

The helicopter shown has a mass m and hovers in position by imparting downward momentum to a column of air defined by the slipstream boundary shown. Find the downward velocity v given to the air by the rotor at a section in the stream below the rotor, where the pressure is atmospheric and the stream radius is r. Also fi nd the power P required of the engine. Neglect the rotational energy of the air, any temperature rise due to air friction, and any change in air density ρ.
