The experimental race car is propelled by a rocket motor and is designed to reach a maximum

Question:

The experimental race car is propelled by a rocket motor and is designed to reach a maximum speed v = 300 mi/hr under the thrust T of its motor. Prior wind-tunnel tests disclose that the wind resistance at this speed is 225 lb. If the rocket motor is burning fuel at the rate of 3.5 lb/sec, determine the velocity u of the exhaust gases relative to the car.
