Compute the impact speed of a body released from rest at an altitude h = 650 miles

Question:

Compute the impact speed of a body released from rest at an altitude h = 650 miles above the surface of Mars. (a) First assume a constant gravitational acceleration gm0 = 12.3 ft/sec2 (equal to that at the surface) and (b) then account for the variation of g with altitude. Neglect any effects of atmospheric drag.
