Answer

both (2) and (3)

Reason — For a rocket like Chandrayaan to be successfully launched from Earth's surface into space, it must overcome:

(a) Gravitational force of Earth – This is the primary force pulling the rocket downward, and a significant amount of thrust is needed to overcome it.

(b) Frictional force of Earth's atmosphere – As the rocket ascends, it encounters air resistance (friction), especially in the lower layers of the atmosphere.

So, the rocket must overcome both gravity and atmospheric friction during launch.
