Question
![PROBLEM 8. 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. The shuttle is launched vertically
upward from the ground as shown below, with the positive direction upward and the air resistance
is ignored. The Earth's gravitational acceleration on its surface is g = 32.2 ft/s² and its radius is
R = 4000 miles.

Where,
- Frotat(t) is the net force acting on the space shuttle that is the
difference between thrust force F, and gravitational force Fg.
- m(t) denotes the total mass of the rocket at time t given by
m(t) = m, + m,(t)

- 100% High pressure water and compressed air are delivered to some operating rooms. Bored one day, with no patients around, you take the cap off the nozzle to see what would happen. Water flows through the vertical pipe and nozzle and then exhausts into the air as shown in the diagram. The water pressure in the pipe at position 1 is 3 atm. The pressure when the water discharges to the air is 1 atm. Position 2 identifies the nozzle, 0.75 m above position 1, where the water flow has been constricted from an 8-cm diameter pipe to a 3-cm diameter nozzle. Assume that the free jet remains a stream of water with a 3-cm diameter. Assume no friction losses.

- (a) During the packaging process, a can of soda of mass 0.4 kg moves down a surface inclined 20° relative to the horizontal, as shown in the figure below. The can is acted upon by a constant force R. parallel to the incline and by the force of gravity. The magnitude of the constant force R is 0.05 N. Ignoring friction between the can and the inclined surface, determine the can's change in kinetic energy, in J, and whether it is increasing or decreasing. If friction between the can and the inclined surface were significant, what effect would that have on the value of the change in kinetic energy?
