The upward velocity of a rocket can be computed by the following formula: mo v = u ln mo-qt gt where v = upward velocity, u = the velocity at which fuel is expelled relative to the rocket, m, = the initial mass of the rocket at time t = 0, q = the fuel consumption rate, and g = the downward acceleration of gravity (assumed constant = 9.81 m/s2). If u = 2200 m/s, mo = 160,000 kg, and q = 2680 kg/s, compute the time in seconds at which v = 1000 m/s. Use false- position method to determine your answer. Criterion: |f(t)| < 0.00005. Hint: Equation can be written as 2200 In 160000 160000-2680t 9.81t 1000 = 0
