A rocket with mass mo is vertically launched from the earth's surface.

A rocket with mass mo is vertically launched from the earth's surface. The rocket's motor produces a constant force F. Attached to the ceiling of the cabin inside the rocket is a system with 2 masses (m, m2) and 2 springs as indicated on the drawing (spring constants ki and k2, rest lengths Lo1 and Loz). What is the force Fb that the bottom plate should be able to withstand minimally in the steady state situation, so that the mass m does not sink through the bottom plate of the cabin? The height of the cabin in which the masses and springs are attached, is H. Data: mo 10 000 kg, m = 40 kg, m2 = 50 kg, F = 500 kN, k = 6000 N/m, K2 = 5000 N/m, Lo1 = 1.5 m, Lo2 = 2 m, H = 4m. Leelolello ki, Lo1 m1 K2, L02 m2 ALL H
