If the radius of a planet is four times that of earth and the value of $g$ is same for both, the escape velocity on the planet will be  ......... $km/s$

$v = \sqrt {2gR} $

$⇒ \frac{{{v_p}}}{{{v_e}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{g_p}}}{{{g_e}}} \times \frac{{{R_p}}}{{{R_e}}}} = \sqrt {1 \times 4} = 2$

$⇒$  ${v_p} = 2 \times {v_e} = 2 \times 11.2 = 22.4\;km/s$
