- A rocket motor is undergoing a "bench test." It is attached to a fixed support by four large springs of constant 10^6 N/m. The motor burns fuel at a rate of 50 kg/s. When the motor is running the springs are observed to stretch 1.5 cm. Determine the exhaust speed of the burned fuel.arrow_forwardA 300 g oscillator has a speed of 95.4 cm/s when its displacement is 3.0 cm and 71.4 cm/s when its displacement is 6.0 cm.
