A rocket is in gravity free space. A scientist wants the acceleration of the rocket to be 2 m/s2. Initial mass of the rocket is 1000 kg and the speed of ejection of burnt fuel w.r.t the rocket is 500 m/s. Find the rate of consumption of fuel (in kg/s), so that the rocket will have an acceleration of 2 m/s2.
