A projectile is projected with velocity $k{v_e}$ in vertically upward direction from the ground into the space. (${v_e}$ is escape velocity and $k < 1)$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible then the maximum height from the centre of earth to which it can go, will be : (R = radius of earth)
