Kepler 62f

I know there is an equation to calculate the gravity of exo-planets and I think it has come up here. What would the gravity be based on the following stats.

I think it would only be a little over earth G but I have no idea how to calculate it.

Actually, they are just guessing wildly at the mass. Based on the stats below, I have seen speculation that it would have a gravity of 1.4 G. Since the radius is also 1.4 I wonder if it is a coincidence or would the radius always be an indicator, assuming the mass is earthlike?

Mass (m) 2.57[3] M⊕
Radius (r) 1.41 (± 0.07)[2] R⊕
