An exotic planet Vogsphere is known to have a mass that is 1/81 that of the Earth and a radius 0.25 that of the Earth. Astrophysicist Trillian built a rocket and decided to leave the planet and never to return. Given that the escape speed from the Earth is 11.2 km/s, with what speed must Trillian achieve his goal?
