A 2 lb rocket is launched from the ground, with its launch rail elevated at an angle of 70
from ground, with zero initial speed. The rail length is set at 3 ft. Assuming its motor provide
a thrust force T =25 lb for the period of 0 t 0.1s and T =0 for t ^30.1 s, no air resistance,
constant gravitational acceleration g =32.2 ft/s 2, a kinetic friction coefficient k =0.2
between the rocket and launch rail and a particle model for the rocket, find t3= time when it
lands on a flat ground. Also, find its range i.e. x(t3). Use its position at t =0 as the origin (x=
0 and y =0)
