A certain quaternary star system considers of a central star of mass M and 3 smaller stars of mass m . The 3 smaller stars orbit the central star in the same circular orbit of radius r and have same sense of revolution. They are positioned one-third of a revolution apart from one another in the orbit . The period of revolution of each smaller star is?

Answer:
Two identical stars of mass M . orbit around their centre of mass . Each orbit is circular and has radius R so that the two stars are always on opposite sides on a diameter .
Explanation:
a) Find the gravitation force of one star on the other .
(b) Find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit.
(c) Find their common angular speed.
(d) Find the minimum energy that would be required to separate the two stars to infinity.
(e ) If a meteorite passes through this center of mass perpendicular to the orbital plane of the stars what value must its speed exceed at that point if it
