Remove fuel and or the passengers. Yes, you can remove fuel by selecting engines that are more fuel efficient OR design rotor blades that produce more lift, thus allowing smaller engines requiring less fuel. Some helicopters are 2-engine. This has benefits of redundacy but the engines, gearbox and controls add more weight. The Transmission is a major part of the helicopter and many are made out of Magnesium alloy. During design, the engineer will consider building parts our of composite material which includes fiber-glass (as used in boats) or graphic-composite or even plastics. Seats are made with lighter material that is designed for shock attenuation in a crash. Landing gear can be made lighter using composite structure that is designed to crush during a crash.
Reduce collective will reduce the lift and the helicopter will begin to descend. Reducing the throttle will also reduce the RPM and result in descent of the helicopter. With less torque, the helicopter will begin to spin so the rudder pedals will have to be adjusted to reduce the amount of tail rotor thrust.
The weight of a helicopter can vary depending on its size. Helicopters can range in weight from a few thousands pounds to as much as ten thousand pounds.
The weight of the helicopter affects the terminal speed by influencing the rate at which the helicopter falls. A heavier helicopter will reach a higher terminal velocity compared to a lighter helicopter, as the force of gravity will be greater on the heavier helicopter, causing it to accelerate faster. Additionally, a heavier helicopter may require more lift to counteract its weight, which can also impact its terminal speed.
Weight affects the hang time of a helicopter by influencing its lift capacity and fuel consumption. A heavier helicopter will require more power to generate lift, which can reduce hang time. Lighter helicopters are generally more maneuverable and efficient, resulting in longer hang times.
The same force as the weight of the helicopter and its crew and cargo.

Thrust, Drag, Lift, Weight (Gravity).
i believe that the monster things grabbed onto the helicopter and the helicopter pulled too much weight so they fell off into the ocean....

The solution to the helicopter physics problem involves understanding the principles of lift, thrust, weight, and drag to keep the helicopter in stable flight. By adjusting the rotor blades' pitch angle and speed, the helicopter can generate enough lift to counteract its weight and stay airborne. Additionally, the helicopter's engine provides the necessary thrust to move forward or hover in place. Properly managing these forces allows the helicopter to maneuver effectively in the air.
The helicopter begins to fall because gravity is pulling its weight. As the helicopter accelerates, the air passing past the helicopter creates drag, as the helicopter continues to accelerate the drag Increases until the drag becomes equal to the weight, stopping it from accelerating. Even if the helicopter did not auto rotate it would still reach a terminal speed, however the terminal speed for the non auto rotating helicopter would be a lot higher and the helicopter would take longer to reach this speed.
