A man can jump up to a height of `h_(0)=1m` on the surface of the earth. What should be the radius of a spherical planet so that the man makes a jump on its surface and escapes out of its gravity? Assume that the man jumps with same speed as on earth and the density of planet is same as that of earth. Take escape speed on the surface of the earth to be 11.2 km/s and radius of earth to be 6400 km.
