Find the acceleration of the rocket

Reference no: EM13240244

A 150-kg (including all the contents) rocket has an engine that produces a constant vertical force (the thrust) of 1680 N. Inside this rocket, a16.5-N electrical power supply rests on the floor.

(a) Find the acceleration of the rocket.

m/s2

(b) When it has reached an altitude of 120 m, how hard does the floor push on the power supply? (Hint: Start with a free-body diagram for the power supply.)
