(COLLAB) A new design of Saturn 18 rocket with mass 1.95 x10° kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 371.18 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 3.39 x10 5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 41.43 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
(COLLAB) A new design of Saturn 18 rocket with mass 1.95 x10° kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a
constant speed of 371.18 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 3.39 x10
kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can
carry a fuel of mass 41.43 x10 ° 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)
