A rocket fi red vertically up from the north pole achieves a velocity of 27 000 km

Question:

A rocket fi red vertically up from the north pole achieves a velocity of 27 000 km /h at an altitude of 350 km when its fuel is exhausted. Calculate the additional vertical height h reached by the rocket before it starts its descent back to the earth. The coasting phase of its flight occurs above the atmosphere. Consult Fig. 1/1 in choosing the appropriate value of gravitational acceleration and use the mean radius of the earth from Table D /2.
