A rocket of mass 20kg has 180 kg of fuel. The exhaust velocity of fuel is 1.6 km/sec. Calculate the ultimate velocity of the rocket gained, when the rate of consumption of the fuel is 2kg/sec. (neglect gravity)

a
3.7 km/sec
b
2 km/sec
c
10 km/sec
d
5 km/sec

detailed solution

Correct option is A

m0 = 20 + 180 = 200kg                   mdvdt=0 +-urdmdt ⇒∫0vdv = -ur∫mimf 1mdm ⇒v = ur ln mimf     = 3.7m/s
