A helicopter is in hover, and it is found that the average velocity of the air right below the rotor is 30 m/s. If the rotor diameter is 8 m, and the aircraft is operating at sea level (rho = 1.226 kg/m³), approximately how heavy is the helicopter? (in kg) (Use momentum theory to determine the answer)
