The acceleration due gravity

g=GMR2=43πGρRg=G\frac{M}{R^2}=\frac{4}{3}\pi G\rho R

g=43πG(1/3ρE)(3/2RE)=1/2gEg=\frac{4}{3}\pi G\left(1/3\rho_E\right) (3/2R_E)=1/2g_E

The height that a man might jump on the planet

h=v022g=v022(1/2gE)=2hE=21.5m=3mh=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}=\frac{v_0^2}{2(1/2g_E)}=2h_E=2*1.5\:\rm m=3 \: m
