If radius of earth increased by 100% what is the escape velocity get increased

Expert Answer
escape velocity, v = ( 2 g R )1/2 ..........(1)
where g is acceleration due to gravity, R is radius of earth
variation of escape velocity in terms of variation of g and variation of R is given by,
( Δv/v ) = (1/2) [ ( Δg/g ) + ( ΔR/R ) ] ................(2)
acceleration due to gravity, g = GM/R2 = ( G/R2 ) (4/3)πR3 = G (4/3)πR ............(3)
where G is gravitation constant and M is mass of earth
Hence , from equation (3), we get, if radius of earth increases by 100%,
acceleration due to gravity also increases by 100% .
i.e., ( Δg/g ) = ( ΔR/R ) = 1
hence from eqn.(2), ( Δv/v ) = (1/2) [ 1 + 1 ] = 1
hence if radius of earth increases by 100 %, escape velocity also increases by 100 %
