GMm/R(square)=mg ( force of earth on a body of mass m i.e its weight )
therefore GM=gR(square)
FOR ESCAPE VELOCITY IT IS
1/2 m * V(square)=GMm/R = m*g *R(square) / R
THERFORE V(square)= 2gR
SO, V = ROOT OVER 2gR
SO IN UR QUESTION ANS IS (a)
ok did u get it or not














ITS (a)mgR
ESCAPE VELOCITY Vo=ROOT OVER2gR
SO K.E=1/2M(Vo)square
=m*g*R
IS IT RIGHT RATE IF IT IS
