Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β€” Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_229

3/229 The binary star system consists of stars $A$ and $B$, both of which orbit about the system mass center. Compare the orbital period $\tau_f$ calculated with the assumption of a fixed star $A$ with the period $\tau_{nf}$ calculated without this assumption. Given values from diagram: Mass of Star $A$, $m_A = 10^{31} \text{ kg}$ Mass of Star $B$, $m_B = 10^{30} \text{ kg}$ Distance between stars, $r = 200(10^6) \text{ km}$
