A space vehicle describing a circular orbit at a speed of 24×103 km/h releases its front end, a capsule that has a gross mass of 600 kg, Including 400 kg of fuel as shown in the figure. The fuel is consumed at the rate of 16.5 kg/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 2925 m/s. Determine the maximum speed attained by the capsule. The maximum speed attained by the capsule is ×103 km/h.
