I need to estimate the maximum radius of an asteroid that I could jump free from.
All I am told is that its density is the same as that of the earth, and I am given a figure for the Earth's radius.
I know the equations for the escape velocity etc, but I just can't seem to get around this one. I keep ending up with 2 unknowns no matter which way I try it.
Any hints??
