$A$ rocket has a mass of $100 \, kg$. $90\%$ of this is fuel. It ejects fuel vapours at the rate of $1 \, kg/s$ with a velocity of $500 \, m/s$ relative to the rocket. It is assumed that the rocket is outside the gravitational field. The initial upthrust on the rocket when it just starts moving upwards is ......... $N$.
