(b) In this case, we need to consider helicopter and passengers in a system because we need to determine the action of the rotor.

        So by Newton's laws motion, we have :

                                                    R\ -\ mg\ =\ ma

or                                                 R\ =\ ma\ +\ mg

or                                                        =\ 1300\left ( 15+10 \right )

or                                                        =\ 32500\ N

The direction of the force of rotor on the surrounding will be in the downward direction.
