Question

A new design of Saturn 12 rocket with mass 1.2 x10⁶ kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 363.9 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 2.01 x10 ⁵ kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 45.96 x10 ⁶ kg.

If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ). (Pitch Angle = 0)
