SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the weight of a cosmonaut inside a rocket during launch, where the rocket accelerates at 22 m/s². Given the cosmonaut's mass of 90 kg, the weight is computed using the formula N = m(a + g), resulting in a total weight of 2880 N. The problem is categorized under "Elasticity. Moving under the action of elastic force," and participants emphasize the importance of recognizing the solution as valid despite initial uncertainty.
