The propellant in a single stage sounding rocket occupies 60% of its initial mass. If all of it is expended instantaneously at an equivalent exhaust velocity of 3000 m/s. what would be the altitude attained by the payload when launched vertically? [Neglect drag and assume acceleration due to gravity to be constant at 9.81 m/s2.]
Correct : c
