An exotic starship engine uses a fuel with a specific impulse of 4500 s4500 \text{ s}4500 s. The force (thrust) is given by F=m˙⋅Isp⋅g0F = \dot{m} \cdot I_{sp} \cdot g_0F=m˙⋅Isp​⋅g0​, where m˙\dot{m}m˙ is mass flow rate, IspI_{sp}Isp​ is specific impulse, and g0=9.80665 m/s2g_0 = 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2g0​=9.80665 m/s2. If the engine must produce 2.5 MN2.5 \text{ MN}2.5 MN of thrust, what is the mass flow rate in kg/min\text{kg/min}kg/min?
