An object A of mass ' \(m\) ' is located at a point ' \(\mathrm{P}\) ' at distances ' \(\mathrm{r}\) ' and ' \(2 \mathrm{r}\) ' from two planets \(B\) and \(C\) of masses ' \(M\) ' and ' \(6 M\) ' respectively as shown in the figure. If the escape speed of the object A from point ' \(\mathrm{P}\) ' due to the gravitational influence of only planet B is \(5 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\), then the escape speed of the object A from point ' \(\mathrm{P}\) ' due to the gravitational influence of both the planets is ____ \(\mathrm{kms}^{-1}\).
