Question:
A rocket launches an unpowered space capsule at point A with an absolute velocity vA = 8000 mi/hr at an altitude of 25 mi. After the capsule has traveled a distance of 250 mi measured along its absolute space trajectory, its velocity at B is 7600 mi/hr and its altitude is 50 mi. Determine the average resistance P to motion in the rarified atmosphere. The earth weight of the capsule is 48 lb, and the mean radius of the earth is 3959 mi. Consider the center of the earth fixed in space.
