A rocket of initial mass m, moving with ...

A rocket of initial mass m, moving with a velocity of v, discharges a jet of gases of mean density `rho`and effective area A. The minimum value of v of fuel gas which enables the rocket to rise vertically above is nearly :

A

`((rhog)/(m_(0)A))^(1//2`

B

`((rhogA)/(m_(0)))^(1//2`

C

`((m_(0)g)/(rhoA))^(1//2)`

D

`((2m_(0)gA)/(rho))^(1//2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Here `(dm)/(dt) = Aupsilon rho`
`:.F=(dm)/(dt).upsilon=Aupsilon rho.upsilon=A upsilon^(2).rho`
Least force required `= m_(0)g`
`:.` `m_(0)g = A.upsilon^(2)rho`
or`upsilon^(2)=(m_(0)g)/(Arho)`
`upsilon=((m_(0)g)/(Arho))^(1)/(2)`
(c) is the choice.
