Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.135P
A 60-g model rocket is fired vertically. The engine applies a thrust P which varies in magnitude as shown. Neglecting air resistance and the change in mass of the rocket, determine (a) the maximum speed of the rocket as it goes up, (b) the time for the rocket to reach its maximum elevation.

The rocket used to launch the 540-kg spacecraft of Prob. 14.95 is redesigned to include two stages A and B , each of mass 9.5 Mg, including 8.9 Mg of fuel. The fuel is again consumed at a rate of 225 kg/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 3600 m/s. Knowing that when stage A expels its last particle of fuel, its casing is released and jettisoned, determine (a) the speed of the rocket at that instant, (b) the maximum speed imparted to the spacecraft.Reference to Problem 14.95:
A rocket weighs 2600 lb, including 2200 lb of fuel, which is consumed at the rate of 25 lb/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 13,000 ft/s. Knowing that the rocket is fired vertically from the ground, determine (a) its acceleration as it is fired, (b) its acceleration as the last particle of fuel is being consumed, (c) the altitude at which all the fuel has been consumed, (d) the velocity of the rocket at that time.
The rocket engines of a spacecraft are fired to increase its velocity by 450 ft/s. Knowing that 1200 lb of fuel is ejected at a relative velocity of 5400 ft/s, determine the weight of the spacecraft after the firing.
