Can anybody help me whit this?
"Two stars which have the same mass are orbiting an object between the two stars. The velocity of the stars is 80 km/s and the time used on one orbit is 864000 s. Find the mass of the two stars."
This is what I have done so far:
r(radius)=1.1e10 m
d(distance)=6.912e10 m
M(sentral object mass)=1.05e30 kg
g(gravitational force at the distance which the stars are)=0.58 m/s^2
I`m lost trying to find the mass of the two stars, somebody?
