Gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet is $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{11} g$,where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. The average mass density of the planet is $\frac{2}{3}$ times that of the earth. If the escape speed on the surface of the earth is taken to be $11 \ km/s$,the escape speed on the surface of the planet in $km/s$ will be:
