You just landed on the planet Olympus IV, famous for its sports competitions. It's a light planet: the average density is one quarter of the Earths average density. It's also a large planet: the diameter is the double of the Earths diameter. The Olympians are giving a high jump competition, and one crew member takes part. You know that on Earth he jumps 1.98 meters. The record at Olympus IV is 3.86 meters. Should you bet your salary on him winning the competition ?

Isn't that "Does S=s?", rather than V?

You are right, of course. Originally I used the classic v for velocity in the equation. Then I realized that I had already used v for volume and changed it to s. But I forgot to change it in the last question.
