What is the minimum thrust a m = 2.0 x 10^5 kg rocket have to rise straight up? Please explain.

OpenStudy (jamesj):

Thrust is a force. What force is acting on the rocket with no thrust? Gravity, the weight of the rocket. How much of a force must you exert in the opposite direction of gravity to overcome gravity? At least as much as the weight of the rocket.
