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.
Frotat (t) = [m(t). v]
Fthrust
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)
- m, is the constant mass of the shuttle including the mass of
payload, the empty external fuel tank and rocket boosters.
- m; (t) is the variable amount of liquid and solid fuels given
by m; (t) = -1,t + m;(0)
Fgravity → Fg

(b) Find the escape velocity from the earth when shuttle is non-propelled, vo.
