Randall D. Knight β Newton's Theory of Gravity: Problem 60
Three stars, each with the mass of our sun, form an equilateral triangle with sides \(1.0 \times 10^{12}\text{ m}\) long. (This triangle would just about fit within the orbit of Jupiter.) The triangle has to rotate, because otherwise the stars would crash together in the center. What is the period of rotation?
