A space probe of mass 7.6x10^3 kg is traveling through space at 125m/s. Mission control decides that a course correction of 30.0o is needed and instructs the probe to fire rockets perpendicular to its present direction of motion. If the gas has velocity 3.200 m/s, what mass of gas should be released.

answer: 171 kg.
