The escape velocity of a body depends upon its mass as:

An object $A$ of mass '$m$' is located at a point '$P$' at distances '$r$' and '$2r$' from two planets $B$ and $C$ of masses '$M$' and '$6M$' respectively,as shown in the figure. If the escape speed of the object $A$ from point '$P$' due to the gravitational influence of only planet $B$ is $5 \ km/s$,then the escape speed of the object $A$ from point '$P$' due to the gravitational influence of both the planets is . . . . . . $km/s$.

$A$ mass of $6 \times 10^{24} \ kg$ is to be compressed into a sphere in such a way that the escape velocity from the sphere is $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$. What should be the radius of the sphere? (Given: $G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \ N \cdot m^2/kg^2$)

The mass of a planet is half that of the Earth and the radius of the planet is one-fourth that of the Earth. If we plan to send an artificial satellite from the planet,the escape velocity will be (escape velocity on Earth $v_e = 11 \ km \ s^{-1}$): (in $km \ s^{-1}$)

$A$ rocket is projected in the vertically upwards direction with a velocity $kv_e$,where $v_e$ is the escape velocity and $k < 1$. The distance from the centre of the Earth up to which the rocket will reach is:
