    Simple Free Body Diagram question

    I have a question in my textbook that I can't answer for the life of me. "A 6500-kg helicopter accelerates upward at .6 m/s^2 while lifting a 1200-kg car. (a) what is the lift force exerted by the air on the rotors?" Now, my diagram has a vector pointing up with a force of (6500*9.8)N...
