Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed in terms of the object's momentum, in this case the expelled exhaust gases, as
(1)
Assuming that the velocity remains constant then
Solving for we get
Before we plug in the given values, we need to convert them first to their appropriate units:
The thrust <em>F</em><em> </em> is
The exhaust rate dm/dt is
Therefore, the velocity at which the exhaust gases exit the engines is
