Textbook Question

Chapter 1.3, Problem 22E

In Problem 21, the mass m(t) is the sum of three different masses: m(t) = m_p + m_v + m_f(t), where m_p is the constant mass of the payload, m_v is the constant mass of the vehicle, and m_f(t) is the variable amount of fuel.

(a) Show that the rate at which the total mass m(t) of the rocket changes is the same as the rate at which the mass m_f(t) of the fuel changes.
(b) If the rocket consumes its fuel at a constant rate λ, find m(t). Then rewrite the differential equation in Problem 21 in terms of λ and the initial total mass m(0) = m₀.
(c) Under the assumption in part (b), show that the burnout time t_b > 0 of the rocket, or the time at which all the fuel is consumed, is t_b = m_f(0)/λ, where m_f(0) is the initial mass of the fuel.
