Two point masses of mass m₁=f M and m₂=(1-f) M(f < 1) are in outer space (far from gravitational influence of other objects) at a distance R from each other. They move in circular orbits about their centre of mass with angular velocities ₁ for m₁ and ₂ for m₂ . In that case
Options
- A(1-f) ₁=f
- B₁= ₂ and independent of f
- Cf ₁=(1-f) ₂
- D₁= ₂ and depend on f
Correct answer
B. ₁= ₂ and independent of f
Step-by-step solution
Angular velocity is the angular displacement per unit time i.e., = t Here w₁=w₂ and independent of f .
