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 $11 \ km/s$,the escape speed on the surface of the planet in $km/s$ will be:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $6$

$A$ rocket is launched normal to the surface of the Earth,away from the Sun,along the line joining the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is $3 \times 10^5$ times heavier than the Earth and is at a distance $2.5 \times 10^4$ times larger than the radius of the Earth. The escape velocity from the Earth's gravitational field is $v_e = 11.2 \text{ km s}^{-1}$. The minimum initial velocity $(v_s)$ required for the rocket to be able to leave the Sun-Earth system is closest to:
