Question:

A jet-propelled aircraft traveling at \(225 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) takes in \(50 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}\) of air. If the propulsive efficiency (defined as the ratio of the useful work output to the mechanical energy input to the fluid) of the aircraft is 45 percent, determine the speed at which the exhaust is discharged relative to the aircraft.
