The rocket consists of the main section A having a mass of 10 Mg and a center of mass at GA. The two identical booster rockets B and C each have a mass of 2 Mg with centers of mass at GB and Gc, respectively. At the instant shown, the rocket is traveling vertically and is at an altitude where the acceleration due to gravity is g = 8.75 m/s2. If the booster rockets B and C suddenly supply a thrust of TB = 30 kN and Tc = 20 kN, respectively, determine the angular acceleration of the rocket. The radius of gyration of A about GA is kA = 2 m and the radii of gyration of B and C about GB and Gc are kB = kc = 0.75 m.
