(a) A rocket set for vertical firing weighs `50kg` and contains `450kg` of fuel. It can have a maximum exhaust velocity of `2km//s`. What should be its minimum rate of fuel consumption
(i) to just lift off the launching pad?
(ii) to give it an initial acceleration of `20m//s^2`?
(b) What will be the speed of the rocket when the rate of consumption of fuel is `10kg//s` after whole of the fuel is consumed? (Take `g=9.8m//s^2`)

A rocket, set for vertical launching, has a mass of 50 kg and contains 450 kg of fuel. It can have a maximum exhaust speed of 1 kms^(-1) If g = 10 ms^(-2) . What should be the minimum rate of fuel consumption to just lift it off the launching pad ?

A rocket of mass 20kg has 180kg fuel. The exhaust velocity of the fuel is 1.6km//s . Calculate the minimum rate of consumption of fuel so that the rocket may rise from the ground. Also, calculate the ultimate vertical speed gained by the rocket when the rate of consumption of fuel is (g=9.8m//s^2) (i) 2kg//s (ii) 20kg//s
