2. A mass M is connected by a massless rope going over a massless, frictionless pulley to a container of
water, which is initially at rest, and has mass m0. At time t = 0 the system is released and water is ejected
(with the help of internal mechanism) in the downward direction with a constant velocity U relative to
the container. The rate at which water is ejected is k m(t) where k is a constant. Find the acceleration of
mass M as a function of time (take M>m0).
