A SpaceX rocket with an initial mass of m0 uses its engines to hover, stationary,just above the ground. (a) Write down a differential equation for the rocket’s mass usingthe condition that the thrust must balance the force of gravity. Assume the exhaust speedvex is a constant. (b) The rocket burns fuel and hovers until the final mass is mf . Solve forthe amount of time it is able to hover. (c) Calculate the hover time for a rocket that burnsan amount of fuel equal to 30% of its initial mass, with an exhaust speed of 2000 m/s.
