9 5.14 A rocket is fired vertically starting from rest. Neglecting air resistance, what velocity will it attain in 68 s if its initial mass is 13 000 kg and fuel is burnt at the rate of 124 kg s', the gases being ejected at a velocity of 1950 m s relative to the rocket? If the fuel is exhausted after 68 s what is the maximum height that the rocket will reach? Take g = 9.8 m s? [1372 m s', 130.8 km]
