The Saturn V, developed at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC)under the direction of Wernher Von Braun, was the largest in afamily of liquid-propellant rockets that solved the problem ofgetting to the moon. A total of thirty-two (32) Saturns of alltypes were launched, not one failed. The three stage Saturn V wastaller than a 36 story building and was the largest, most powerfulrocket ever launched. Fully loaded with the Apollo spacecraftonboard, it had a mass of 6.8 million pounds. This was still nomatch; however, for the five powerful rockets that controlled thefirst stage with 33,560,000 newtons of thrust upwards. Using thisinformation find the net acceleration (m/s2) of the Saturn Vrocket. Assume that there is no change in mass,the rocket stayscompletely perpendicular, and there is no drag on the rocket.
