An experimental rocket sled weighs 5760 lb and is propelled by six rocket motors each with an impulse rating of 8510 Ib-sec. The rockets are fıred one after the other at 1.3-sec intervals, and the duration of each rocket firing is 2.2 sec. If the velocity of the sled 11.1 sec from the start is 169 mi/hr, determine the time average R of the total aerodynamic and mechanical resistance to motion. Neglect the loss of mass due to exhausted fuel compared with the mass of the sled.

An experimental rocket sled weighs 5760 lb and is propelled by six rocket motors each with an impulse rating of 8510 lb-sec. The
rockets are fıred one after the other at 1.3-sec intervals, and the duration of each rocket firing is 2.2 sec. If the velocity of the sled 11.1
sec from the start is 169 mi/hr, determine the time average R of the total aerodynamic and mechanical resistance to motion. Neglect
the loss of mass due to exhausted fuel compared with the mass of the sled.
