$\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{n}^{1 / 3} \mathrm{r} \quad \therefore \quad \mathrm{R}=(64)^{1 / 3} \mathrm{r}=4 \mathrm{r}$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{T}} \propto \mathrm{r}^{2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{T}_{1}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{T}_{2}}}=\frac{16 \mathrm{r}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}$
$\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{T}_{2}}=16 \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{T}_{1}}=16 \times 1.5=24 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
