A variable-mass system is a mechanical system in which the mass can change over time. This can occur due to various reasons, such as the expulsion of mass from the system or the addition of mass to it. Systems with variable mass are often encountered in various fields of physics and engineering, particularly in mechanics and fluid dynamics. ### Examples of Variable-Mass Systems 1. **Rocket Propulsion**: In rocket engines, fuel is consumed and expelled as exhaust at high speeds.
