A new design of Saturn 15 rocket with mass 1.8 x10° kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 348.39 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 3.29 x10 5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 43.26 x10 6 kg. If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ). (Pitch Angle = 0)
