v = √ (GM/r) (orbital speed)
⇒ GM = v²r ⇒ (GM/R²) = (v²r/R²) ⇒ g = (v²r/R²)

$m ω^{2} . \frac{2 d}{3} = \frac{G . m . 2 m}{d^{2}} \Rightarrow ω = \sqrt[]{\frac{3 G m}{d^{3}}}$

$T = \frac{2 π}{ω} = 2 π \sqrt[]{\frac{d^{3}}{3 G m}}$

$F_{1} c o s 45 ° + F_{2} c o s 45 ° + F_{3} = \frac{m v^{2}}{r}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{G m^{2}}{{(\sqrt[]{2} r)}^{2}} . \frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}} + \frac{G m^{2}}{{(\sqrt[]{2} r)}^{2}} . \frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}} + \frac{G m^{2}}{{(2 r)}^{2}} = \frac{m v^{2}}{r}$

$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt[]{\frac{G m}{4 r} (2 \sqrt[]{2} + 1)}$

Putting m = 1 kg and r = 1 m,

$v = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt[]{G (1 + 2 \sqrt[]{2})}$

$g^{1} = \frac{G M}{{(R + h)}^{2}}$

$g^{1} = \frac{g}{{(1 + \frac{h}{R})}^{2}}$

Given h = D = 2R

$g^{1} = \frac{g}{{(1 + \frac{2 R}{R})}^{2}}$

$g^{1} = \frac{g}{9}$

$v_{e} = \sqrt[]{\frac{2 G M}{R}} = \sqrt[]{\frac{2 G}{R} \times \frac{4}{3} π R^{3} ρ}$

$= \sqrt[]{\frac{8 π G ρ}{3} R^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow v_{e} \propto R$

$\Rightarrow \frac{v_{e}}{v} = \frac{4 R}{R} \Rightarrow v_{e} = 4 v$
