Hunting a black hole.Observations of the light from a certain star indicate that it ispart of a binary (two-star) system. This visible star has orbitalspeed v = 270 km/s, orbital period T = 1.7 days, and approximatemass m1 = 6.0Ms, where Ms is the Sun's mass, 1.99 x 1030 kg. Assumethat the visible star and its companion star, which is dark andunseen, are both in circular orbits (see Figure 13-46). Find theratio of the approximate mass m2 of the dark star to Ms.
Can you please explain what you are doing, not just give theanswer... thanks in advance
(DO NOT JUST REPOST A PREVIOUS ANSWER ALREADY ON CRAMSTER, IHAVE LOOKED AT THEM AND COULD NOT FOLLOW, I WILL NOT AWARD POINTSIF YOU DO SO.)
