Let g=10. A toy rocket has a dry mass of 3 kg, but when loaded
with fuel it has a total mass of 5 kg. Suppose the engine consumes
fuel at a steady rate and produces a constant thrust of 200N, and
that the 2 kg of fuel can last 10 seconds. While the engine is
burning the rocket travels in a straight line, but when the engine
shuts down the rocket travels in projectile motion. Ignore
friction, what should the angle between the rocket and the ground
be so that the rocket has the maximum range? What is this
range?
