The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the force being applied by the rocket engine when a man inside the rocket feels that his weight has increased to 5 times its normal weight due to the rocket's acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Weight**: The weight of an object is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g \] where \( W \) is the weight, \( m \) is the mass of the object, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Normal Weight Calculation**: The normal weight of the man (or the total weight of the rocket including the man) can be calculated using the given mass: \[ m = 0.1 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg} = 1000 \, \text{kg} \] The weight at normal conditions (without any acceleration) is: \[ W_0 = m \cdot g = 1000 \, \text{kg} \cdot 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 10000 \, \text{N} \] 3. **Weight Under Acceleration**: When the man feels his weight is 5 times, the effective weight \( W \) becomes: \[ W = 5 \cdot W_0 = 5 \cdot 10000 \, \text{N} = 50000 \, \text{N} \] 4. **Finding the Net Force**: The net force \( F \) acting on the rocket (which is also the force exerted by the rocket engine) can be calculated using Newton's second law: \[ F = m \cdot a \] Here, \( a \) is the effective acceleration experienced by the man, which can be derived from the effective weight: \[ W = m \cdot (g + a) \] Rearranging gives: \[ 50000 \, \text{N} = 1000 \, \text{kg} \cdot (10 \, \text{m/s}^2 + a) \] Simplifying this: \[ 50000 = 10000 + 1000a \] \[ 50000 - 10000 = 1000a \] \[ 40000 = 1000a \] \[ a = \frac{40000}{1000} = 40 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] 5. **Calculating the Total Force**: Now, substituting \( a \) back into the equation for force: \[ F = m \cdot (g + a) = 1000 \, \text{kg} \cdot (10 \, \text{m/s}^2 + 40 \, \text{m/s}^2) \] \[ F = 1000 \, \text{kg} \cdot 50 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 50000 \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answer: The force being applied by the rocket engine is: \[ F = 50000 \, \text{N} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the force being applied by the rocket engine when a man inside the rocket feels that his weight has increased to 5 times its normal weight due to the rocket's acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Weight**: The weight of an object is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g ...
