Problem

Gravitational acceleration at the surface of a planet is (6/11)g(\sqrt{6}/11)g, where gg is the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth. The average mass density of the planet is 2/32/3 times that of the Earth. If the escape speed on the surface of the Earth is taken to be 11 km s−111\text{ km s}^{-1}, then find the escape speed at the surface of the planet in km s−1\text{km s}^{-1}.
