Here's another way to look at it. There are no external forces on the large mass M. A small mass, m, is fired at a known speed (the...

Okay, but that was my first step. That leads directly to a differential equation: $$\frac{d v}{dt} = \frac 1 {M(t)}k(u-v)$$where ##k =...

Here's my starting point. In the rest frame of the container, a small mass of water ##\Delta m## is ejected in time ##\Delta t## at...
