Question

If 5000 kg rocket is set for vertical firing the exhaust speed is 800 M per second to give an upward acceleration of 20 m per second squresthe amount of gas ejected per second to supply the needed thrust

Open in App
Solution

The net force on the system (rocket and exhaust gas) is zero.the rocket mass M AND set exhaust gas mass dM. M*dV(rocket)/dt=dM*V(EXHAUST)/dt
Mdv=m(g+a)=5000*(9.8+20)=149000N
149000=dM*800/dt
dm/dt=186.25m/s
