Gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet is $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{11}$ g, where g is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. The average mass density of the planet is $\frac{2}{3}$ times that of the earth. If the escape speed on the surface of the earth is taken to be 11 kms^–1, the escape speed on the surface of the planet in kms^–1 will be

$\frac{V_{C 2}}{V_{eρ}} = \frac{ρ_{2} R_{2}}{ρ_{1} R_{1}}$

$= \sqrt{\frac{ρ_{2} R_{2}}{ρ_{1} R_{1}}}$

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = (\frac{M_{2}}{M_{1}}) {(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}})}^{2}$

$\frac{ρ_{2}}{ρ_{1}} = (\frac{M_{2}}{M_{1}}) {(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}})}^{3}$

$\frac{g_{2} / g_{1}}{ρ_{2} / ρ_{1}} = (\frac{R 2}{R_{1}})$

$\frac{V_{C_{2}}}{V_{C_{1}}} = \sqrt{(\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}}) (\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}}) / \frac{ρ_{2}}{ρ_{1}}}$

$= \frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} \sqrt{\frac{ρ_{2}}{ρ_{1}}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{11}$

$\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
