R where m is the mass of your body, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and R is the radius of the earth. For example, W (0) is your weight when you are on the surface of the earth and W(R) is your weight when you are at the height R above the surface of the earth (yes, you are far away from the earth's atmosphere). In this question, we will approximate W (0) and W(R).

A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at liftoff (including its fuel) is m, the fuel is consumed at rate r, and the exhaust gases are ejected with constant velocity ve(relative to the rocket). A model for the velocity of the rocket at time t is given by the equation v(t) = −gt − ve ln(m-rt/m) where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is not too large. If g = 9.8 m/s2, m = 31,000 kg, r = 160 kg/s,and ve = 2,800 m/s, find the height of the rocket one minute after liftoff. (Round your answer to the nearest whole meter.) answer:_______________m
