Q.

The first & second stage of two stage rocket separately weigh 100 kg and 10 kg and contain 800kg and 90kg fuel respectively. If the exhaust velocity of gases is 2 km/sec then velocity of rocket after second stage is (nearly) (log105=0.6990) (neglect gravity)

Detailed Solution

The initial velocity of the rocket, v0 = 0

The rocket velocity after the exhaustion of the first stage is,  v = u ln m0m​​

Here,

m0​ = 100 + 10 + 800 + 90 = 1000 kg

and

m = 100 + 10 + 90 = 200 kg

Thus,

∣v∣ = 2ln 5 = 2×1.609 = 3.281 km/s

The second stage becomes operative when the first is detached from it.

Thus,

u0​ = 3.218 km/s

m0 ​= 10 + 90 = 100kg

m = 10kg

Thus

∣v∣ = 3.22 + 2ln 10010

= 3.22 + 2×(2.3) = 7.82 km/s = 7.8×103 m/s
