Problem 3 General Planar Motion, Kinetics The 30,000 lb rocket is fired-such that each of its two engines provides a thrust of T = 50,000 lbf. At a given instant, engine A suddenly fails to operate. Assuming the rocket may be approximated by a slender rod 60 ft. long from A to B, determine the angular acceleration of the rocket and the acceleration of its nose B.
