Derive the differential equation(s) describing the given physical situation.

Newton’s second law when the mass of an object is variable, this latter formulation is used. The mass of a rocket launched upward changes as its fuel is consumed. * If denotes its velocity at any time, it can be shown that

Where V is the constant velocity of the exhaust gases relative to the rocket. Use (29) to find the differential equation for v if it is known that are constants.
