A rocket, with an initial mass of `1000kg`, is launched vertically upwards from rest under gravity. The rocket burns fuel at the rate of `10kg` per second. The burnt matter is ejected vertically downwards with a speed of `2000ms^-1` relative to the rocket. If burning ceases after one minute, find the maximum velocity of the rocket. (Take g as constant at `10ms^-2`)

A
