Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

ΔV = I sp \cdot [g] \cdot \ln (\frac{M wet}{M dry})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

ΔV = 100s \cdot [g] \cdot \ln (\frac{30000kg}{25000kg})

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

ΔV = 100s \cdot 9.8066m/s² \cdot \ln (\frac{30000kg}{25000kg})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

ΔV = 100 \cdot 9.8066 \cdot \ln (\frac{30000}{25000})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

ΔV = 178.796369493343m/s

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

ΔV = 0.178796369493343km/s

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

ΔV = 0.1788km/s
