A single stage chemical rocket, having an initial mass of 10,000 kg and specific impulse of 450 s, is launched from the surface of the earth and has to reach the escape velocity (11 km/s) at burn out. Consider ge=9.8m/s2 If the atmospheric drag and the effect of gravity are to be neglected, the mass of propellant to be carried by the rocket is equal to _______ kg (in one decimal place).

Correct : 9100.0 to 9200.0
