A rockel weighs when it is on the launching pad on the surface of the earth. It is fired vertically upward and after all the fuel is burnt out, it weighs . The ejection of the fuel gas is at a constant rate of with a constant velocity of relative to the rocket.
Calculate the final speed of the rocket after complete burn out of the fuel. (Neglect gravity and air resistance.)


Two cubes of masses and lie on two frictionless slopes of block which rests on a horizontal table. The cubes are connected by a string which passes over a pulley. (See Fig.) To what horizontal acceleration should the whole system (i.e., the block and cubes) be subjected so that the cubes do not slide down the plane? What is the tension in the sring in this situation?
