1] A rocket is fired on a static test stand which holds it in place. Exhaust gases are expelled out of the rocket's nozzle at a velocity of 1,500 m/s (as shown in Figure). The exhaust nozzle has a 50 cm diameter circular crosssection. The exhaust gas has a density of 0.5 kg/m3 and specific heat ratio of 1.27. Determine the approximate force {or thrust, Fm) generated by the rocket, assuming the exhaust pressure equals the ambient pressure (full expansion condition) [20 points]
