00:01 Hello guys, in this problem we have a rocket near the surface of earth.
00:07 It is given that the mass of the rocket equals 3 .37 times 10 to the 5 kilograms.
00:20 On the rocket, the thrust force is exerted such that the thrust force act at an angle theta above horizontal and the magnitude of the thrust forces 8 .86 times 10 to the 6 newtons.
00:40 The angle theta is of 69 .5 degrees.
00:45 We have to find out the magnitude and the direction of the resultant acceleration.
00:50 Now the other forces acting on the rocket are the force of gravity in the vertically downward direction...
