Homework Statement
I am trying to model a water rockets motion using a computer programme in order to compare it to my experimental data. I am studying physics at degree level but I have no knowledge of programming and am finding this particularly difficult. I have thought about using mathematica to solve a set of differential equations that could predict a force time graph for my rocket, however I do not know how to use this and I am finding it difficult to find the right set of equations.
The simulation needs to be able to predict a force time graph for a given set of variables such as volume of fuel, pressure inside the rocket etc.
I need to know what is the best way of going about this as I am not sure if mathematica is the best programme to use. If there is a solution I will also most likely need help in writing this.
Would anyone be able to assist me with this as is it of high priority for me!
Also this is my first post so if I have missed anything out please comment so I can explain!
Thank you
