A rocket with a lift-off mass is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of . Then the initial thrust of the blast is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The net force on the rocket is Thrust () minus Weight ().


Given , , and taking :

Note: Some textbooks calculate thrust as just if is neglected or if "thrust" refers to the force applied by fuel, but in standard mechanics, to achieve an upward acceleration , thrust must overcome gravity. The answer provided in the snippet () assumes . However, physically is correct. Re-checking AIEEE 2003 key: often is taken for both and , leading to .
