Chapter 14.3, Problem 14.92P
The main propulsion system of a new space transport vehicle consists of three identical rocket engines, each of which produces a thrust of 470.000 lb in space. Determine the rate at which the hydrogen-oxygen propellant is burned by each of the three engines, knowing that it is ejected with a relative velocity of 14.000 ft/s.

A launch vehicle has 6 engines operating in parallel which are fed from the same propellant tank.
Initially, each engine has an equivalent exhaust velocity of 3500 m/s and consumes 400 kilograms of
propellant per second.
One of the engines malfunctions and consequently operates at 50% thrust and 120% propellant
consumption. Calculate the equivalent exhaust velocity in m/s of all engines if treated as a single
engine, including the malfunctioning engine in your calculation.
The weight of a spacecraft, including fuel, is 11,600 lb when the rocket engines are fired to increase its velocity by 360 ft/s. Knowing that 1000 lb of fuel is consumed, determine the relative velocity of the fuel ejected.
A communications satellite weighing 10,000 lb, including fuel, was injected from a space shuttle in low orbit around the earth. After the satellite slowly drifted to a safe distance from the shuttle, its engine was operated to increase its speed by 8000 ft/s as the first step in its transition into a geosynchronous orbit. It is known that fuel is released with a relative speed of 13,750 ft/s. Determine the weight of fuel consumed in the process that took place.

Integrating the equation of motion, as applied to all particles in a system, yields ∑mi(vi)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=∑mi(vi)2 where mi is the ith particle's mass, vi is the ith particle's velocity, and Fi is the external force that acts on the ith particle. This relationship states that the sum of the initial linear momenta, at time t1, and the impulses of all the external forces acting between times t1 and t2 is equal to the sum of the linear momenta of the system, at time t2. If the system has a mass center, G, the expression becomes m(vG)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=m(vG)2 This expression allows the principle of linear impulse and momentum to be applied to a system of particles that is represented as a single particle.
