A rocket of mass m = 20kg has M =180kg fuel. The uniform exhaust velocity of fuel is v(r)=1.6km/s (¡) calculate the minimum rate of consumption of fuel so that the rocket may rise from ground

Force on the rocket is gravitational pull (m+M)g.
F=dP/dt=d{(m+M)v}/dt
m is constant and v has a fixed value in this problem.
