Question

A rocket of mass 1000 kg is exhaust gases at a rate of 4 kg/s with a velocity 3000 m/s. The thrust developed on the rocket is
  1. 12000 N
  2. 800 N
  3. 200 N
  4. 120 N

A
12000 N
B
800 N
C
200 N
D
120 N
Solution
Verified by Toppr

m=1000 kg

ΔmΔt=4 kg/s,v=3000 m/s

Thrust on the rocket

F=vΔMΔt

=3000×4

=12000 N

(Negative sign indicates that thrust applied in a direction opposite to the direction of escaping gas)
