2PRACTICE PROBLEM
On a basketball court, a basketball player recorded a standing vertical leap of 125 cm. Imagine that this player was given the opportunity to travel to a spherical celestial object in outer space. The mass per unit volume of the celestial object is 2.2 g/cm3. Calculate the maximum radius of the celestial object, allowing the player to escape by jumping vertically.
