A rocket designed to place small payloads into orbit is carried to an altitude of 12.0Â km
 above sea level by a converted airliner. When the airliner is flying in a straight line at a constant speed of 850 km/h
, the rocket is dropped. After the drop, the airliner maintains the same altitude and speed and continues to fly in a straight line. The rocket falls for a brief time, after which its rocket motor turns on. Once its rocket motor is on, the combined effects of thrust and gravity give the rocket a constant acceleration of magnitude 3.00g
 directed at an angle of 30.0Â
∘
 above the horizontal. For reasons of safety, the rocket should be at least 1.00 km
 in front of the airliner when it climbs through the airliner's altitude.
Â
Your job is to determine the minimum time that the rocket must fall before its engine starts. You can ignore air resistance.
