    The escape velocity of a body on the surface of the earth is 11.2 km/s. If the earth's mass increases to twice its present value and radius of the earth becomes half, the escape velocity becomes-

    A) 5.6 km/s                       

    B) 11.2 km/s

    C) 22.4 km/s                     

    D) 44.8 km/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{V}_{e}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{2G{{M}_{e}}}{{{\operatorname{R}}_{e}}}\,\,=\,\,11.2\,\,km/s\] Now \[M=2{{M}_{e}}\And R'={{R}_{e}}/2\] \[\,so\,\,\,V{{'}_{e}}\,=\frac{1G(2{{M}_{e}})}{({{R}_{e}}/2)}\,\,=\,\,2\frac{2G{{M}_{e}}}{{{\operatorname{R}}_{e}}}\,\,=\,\,2\times 11.2\,\,\] \[=\text{ }22.4\text{ }km/s\]
