A rocket is in deep space, and on earth it has an empty weight of 500 lb and carries 300 lb of fuel. If the fuel is burned at the rate of 15 lb/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 4400 ft/s, determine the maximum speed attained by the rocket starting from rest, while it is in deep space. Neglect the effect of gravitation on the rocket.
