Determine the escape speed for a rocket on the far side of Ganymede, the largest of Jupiter€™s moons (Figure P13.41). The radius of Ganymede is 2.64 X 106 m, and its mass is 1.495 X 1023 kg. The mass of Jupiter is 1.90 X 1027 kg, and the distance between Jupiter and Ganymede is 1.071 X 109 m. Be sure to include the gravitational effect due to Jupiter, but you may ignore the motion of Jupiter and Ganymede as they revolve about their center of mass.
