Relative equilibrium is the condition where every particle of a liquid is at rest with respect to every particle and to the containing vessel, but the whole mass, excluding the vessel, has a uniform accelerated motion with respect to the earth.

A spacecraft cruising in space at a constant velocity of 2000 ft/s has a mass of 25,000 lbm. To slow down the spacecraft, a solid fuel rocket is fired, and the combustion gases leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 lbm/s at a velocity of 5000 ft/s in the same direction as the spacecraft for a period of 5 s. Assuming the mass of the spacecraft remains constant, determine (a) the deceleration of the spacecraft during this 5-s period, (b) the change of velocity of the spacecraft during this time period, and (c) the thrust exerted on the spacecraft.

In the classic movie The Spirit of St. Louis, Jimmy Stewart portraysCharles Lindbergh on his history-making transatlantic flight.Lindbergh is concerned about the weight of his fuel-laden airplane. As he flies over Newfoundland he notices a fly on the dashboard. Speaking to the fly, he wonders aloud, “Does the planeweigh less if you fly inside it as it’s flying? Now that’s an interestingquestion.” What do you think?
