i got 2.2 for part a

i think the mass is just 30000 not 30000 + 25000

dont you use the thing : a = T - mg / m

because the 'F' is the thrust minus the weight force

a) a= t -mg / m
a = 360000 - ( 9.8 x 30000) / 30000
a = 2.2 m/s/s

b) The rockets mass is 30000kg In which 25000kg is its fuel. The fuel will be used up to increase its acceleration.
Therefore, 30000 - 25000 = 5000kg
a= t -mg / m
a = 360000 - ( 9.8 x 5000) / 5000
a = 62.2 m/s/s

c) g force formula : g+a /g
g force = 62.2 + 9.8 /9.8
= 7.35g
