I Kepler 3rd law for circular orbits

AI Thread Summary
Kepler's third law applies to the entire two-body system, indicating that both bodies share the same orbital period as they orbit their common center of mass. However, this does not require them to have the same orbital radius, as the radius is determined by the distance between the two bodies. The law is not applicable to individual bodies in isolation but rather to the system as a whole. Therefore, different masses can have different orbital radii while maintaining the same period. Understanding this distinction clarifies the apparent confusion regarding the application of Kepler's third law in such scenarios.

Hello! I am a bit confused about Kepler 3rd law for circular orbits. So assume you have 2 bodies of masses M>m orbiting in circles around their center of mass. As the center of mass passes through the line connecting them, they must have the same period. But according to Kepler's 3rd law, this means that, as they rotate around the same center, they must also have the same radius of the orbits. But this is not possible as they have different masses. So how does this work? Thank you!

Kepler's third law holds for the system as a whole with the distance between the objects as the radius.

If you only look at each individual body, you do not have a Kepler problem.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
