If the Earth were made of wood, the mass
of wooden Earth would have been 10%
as much as it is now (without change in
its diameter). Calculate escape speed
from the surface of this Earth.

mass of wooden earth , M' = M + 10% of M = M + 10M/100 = 1.1M
we know, escape velocity from the earth is given as
where Me is mass of earth and Re is radius of the earth.
as diameter of wooden earth remains constant. so, Re' = Re
now, escape velocity from the wooden earth, v = √{2G(1.1M)/R}
= √{2.2GM/R}
= √(1.1) × √{2GM/R}
= √(1.1) × 11.2 km/s [ as we know escape velocity from the earth is 11.2 km/s ]
= 11.746 km/s
