Question
The velocity of the jet of rocket is $9 km / s$. If 300 kg gas is deposited every second, find the force applied on the rocket

Answer

 It is given,
$\begin{aligned}
v & =9 km / s \\
v & =9000 m / s \\
\frac{d m}{d t} & =300 kg / sec
\end{aligned}$
Force applied on rocket :
$\begin{aligned}
F & =v \times \frac{d m}{d t} \\
& =9000 \times 300\\
\Rightarrow \quad & =27 \times 10^5 N \\
\Rightarrow \quad F & =2.7 \times 10^6 N\quad \text { Ans. }
\end{aligned}$
