(COLLAB) A new design of Saturn 17 rocket with mass 1.33 x106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 375.53 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 4.74 x10 5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 41.26 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)

QUESTION 6
(COLLAB) A new design of Saturn 17 rocket with mass 1.33 x106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed
of 375.53 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 4.74 x10 5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 41.26 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)
