Assume the space shuttle's main engines produce 764,576 newtons of thrust, and the shuttle has a mass of 78,018 kg. why does the shuttle need the two solid rocket boosters (in addition to the main engines)?
a. the boosters get the shuttle to space quicker.
b. the boosters are not needed at launch and are used later after achieving orbit.
c. the boosters are not needed, but they are there in the event one of the main engines does not work.
d. the thrust produced by the main engines equals the shuttle's weight, so the additional thrust from the boosters is needed to lift the shuttle off the launch pad.
