The distance between the centres of two ...

The distance between the centres of two stars is `10alpha`. The masses of these stars are M and 16M and their radii `alpha ` and `2alpha`. A body of mass m is fired straight from the surface of the larger star towards the smaller star. What should be its minimum initial speed to reach the surface of teh smaller star? Obtain the expression interms of G, M and `alpha`.
