How to calculate the thrust force applied in a Stomp Rocket?

I passed by the physics of old things for fun today and I fell on my problem sets where there was a question on how to find the thrust force applied in a stomp rocket. The question gives us the mass of the rocket, the rocket stand height, the height of the Rocket Went, the time of the rocket went up and the time it took for the rocket to fall. We have done experimentally and calculated values ​​using the formulas and stuff, but I do not remember how obtain the thrust force. Any ideas? I'm just curious, this question has been bugging me for a while: P Thanks for reading ~!

You do not have enough information yet. According to the data you have, you can calculate the initial velocity of the rocket. With the masses, that gives you the initial momentum. Impulse = change in momentum = force x time, so if you knew how long the thrust force used, you can calculate the average thrust force. Or if you knew the distance over which the thrust force used, you can calculate the time and the acceleration: Vf = Vi + A = D + T ^ Vi A 2 and the acceleration force is just mass x
