The Thrust on the rocket is 1.434 MN.

To calculate the thrust of a rocket, we use the formula below

Thrust: This is the force that moves an aircraft through the air.

⇒Formula

  • T = M'×v.................... Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • T = Thrust of the rocket
  • M' = Fuel ejection rate
  • v = gas exhaust velocity

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • M' = 239 kg/s
  • v = 60 km/s = 6000 m/s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • T = 239(6000)
  • T = 1434000 N
  • T = 1.434 MN

Hence, the Thrust on the rocket is 1.434 MN.
