Dear ramya bhaskar

Velocity of rocket is given as

v=u ln(M/M-rt)

wher M is the total mass of rocket + fuel at t=0 sec = 20 +180 =200 kg

and r rate of fuel consumption =2kg/sec

u is the velocity of gas ejection w.r.t rocket = 1.6 km/sec

 

ultimate velocity is achieved when all the fuel will burn

ie. M-rt =20 kg

so v= 1.6 ln(180/20)

        =3.515 km/sec

Please feel free to post as many doubts on our discussion forum as you can.
