Chapter 4, Problem 119P
A rocket sled traveling on a horizontal track is slowed by a retro-rocket fired in the direction of travel. The initial speed of the sled is U0 = 500 m/s. The initial mass of the sled is M0 = 1500 kg. The retro-rocket consumes fuel at the rate of 7.75 kg/s, and the exhaust gases leave the nozzle at atmospheric pressure and a speed of 2500 m/s relative to the rocket. The retro-rocket fires for 20 s. Neglect aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance. Obtain and plot an algebraic expression for sled speed U as a function of firing time. Calculate the sled speed at the end of retro-rocket firing.

A water container is kept on a weighing balance.
Water from a tap is falling vertically into the
container with a volume flow rate of Q; the velocity
of the water when it hits the water surface is U. At
a particular instant of time the total mass of the
container and water is m. The force registered by
the weighing balance at this instant of time is
(a) mg + pQU
(c) mg + PQU2/2
(b) mg + 2PQU
(d) pQU?/2
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.
Consider an airplane with a jet engine attached to the tail section that expels combustion gases at a rate of 18 kg/s with a velocity of V = 300 m/s relative to the plane. During landing, a thrust reverser (which serves as a brake for the aircraft and facilitates landing on a short runway) is lowered in the path of the exhaust jet, which deflects the exhaust rearward 120 degrees, as shown below.
Determine (a) the thrust (forward force) that the engine produces prior to the insertion of the thrust reverser and (b) the braking force produced after the thrust reverser is deployed.

- 8. Lost in the Equations 2. A rectangular container is initially one-third full of water, and an empty cylindrical bucket of mass m = 150 g is initially floating in it. Now, Franco turns the faucet on, which deposits water into the bucket with a constant mass rate o = 63.1 g/s. As expected, the water level of the container rises. After some time, the top of the bucket eventually reaches the water level of the container and the water level of the container decreases sharply. The bucket then sinks to the floor of the container and is completely submerged. You are given that the water has density p = 1025 kg/m³. The cross-sectional areas of the rectangular container and the circular bucket are A = 100 cm² and a = 49.0 cm² respectively. If the faucet doesn't stop flowing, find the rate by which the rectangular container's water level increases before the sharp decrease in water level.arrow_forwardConsider an airplane with a jet engine attached to the tail section that expels combustion gases at a rate of 18 kg/s with a velocity of V = 300 m/s relative to the plane.

The total weight of space shuttle including its payload mass and the empty external tank, and its empty two solid rocket boosters is mo = 428,100 lb. It is known that the external tank and the two solid rocket boosters initially holds m,(0) = 3,728,875 lb of fuel (that is the total weight of solid fuel plus liquid oxygen and hydrogen). The shuttle consumes its liquid and solid fuels at a constant rate of A = 14,300 lb/s. Also, it is known that the shuttle thrust force is F, = 400,000 lb. (a) Use the Newton's 2nd law below to find the second order differential equation that describes the vertical position y of the space shuttle as a function of time.
