A group of Chinese soldiers launches a small 8.00-kg rocket from artillery at an angle of 17 degrees from vertical and reaches a height of 150 meters. (a) Determine the rocket's velocity as it departs the artillery, ignoring air resistance or drag force. (b) The artillery is an 8-inch-long tube. Calculate the average acceleration of the rocket in the tube as it moves from zero to the velocity obtained in problem part a. (c) What is the average rocket force in the artillery? Express your answer in newton and as a ratio of the rocket's weight.
