Provide me the correct solution of the following question

Question- At what Kelvin temperature does the rms speed of the oxygen (O2) molecules in the air near the surface of the earth become equal to the escape speed from the earth? (R= 8.31 6 J/mol · K; molar mass of O2 gas is 32 g/mol; radius of the earth RE = 6.37 × 10 m; the 5 escape speed from the earth is 11.2 km/s)

I need to determine the answer of the above question.
