During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. the rocket is to be launched from rest from the earth's surface and is to reach a maximum height of 910 m above the earth's surface. the rocket's engines give the rocket an upward acceleration so it moves with acceleration of 16.0 m/s2 during the time t that they fire. after the engines shut off, the rocket is in free fall. ignore air resistance.

The space between two 15-in.-long concentric cylinders is filled with glycerin (viscosity = 8.5 × 10-3 lb·s/ft2). the inner cylinder has a radius of 1 in. and the gap width between cylinders is 0.1 in. determine (a) the torque and (b) the power required to rotate the inner cylinder at 180 rev/min. the outer cylinder is fixed. assume the velocity distribution in the gap to be linear.
