Rocket scientists are testing a new three-stage rocket for delivering small payloads to low-Earth orbit. It has these characteristics

• Ispstage 1 = 300 s

• Ispstage 2 = 350 s

• Ispstage 3 = 400 s

• Payload mass = 1500 kg

• Structure mass stage 1 = 10,000 kg

• Structure mass stages 2 and 3 = 7500 kg each

• Propellant mass stage 1 = 50,000 kg

• Propellant mass stage 2 = 40,000 kg

• Propellant mass stage 3 = 35,000 kg

a) What is the initial mass of the entire vehicle?

b) What is the final mass of stage 1?

c) What is the ΔV of stage 1?

d) What is the initial mass of stage 2?

e) What is the final mass of stage 2?

f) What is the ΔV of stage 2?

g) What is the initial mass of stage 3?

h) What is the final mass of stage 3?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
