The escape velocity v a spacecraft needs to leave the gravitational field of a planet varies directly

Question:

The escape velocity v a spacecraft needs to leave the gravitational field of a planet varies directly as the square root of the product of the planet’s radius R and its acceleration due to gravity g. For Mars and Earth, RM = 0.533Re and gM = 0.400ge. Find vM for Mars if ve = 11.2 km/s.
