  • A
    $R / 6$
  • B
    $R / 3$
  • C
    $2 R / 3$
  • D

$A$ spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is $V$. Due to the rotation of the planet about its axis,the acceleration due to gravity $g$ at the equator is $1/2$ of $g$ at the poles. Find the escape velocity of a particle on the planet in terms of $V$.
