Question
In the second step I see that a2 =
meaning that the central force of gravity is equal to thecentrifugal force, but my professor prefers that I stay away fromcentrifugal force, as she claims it is not a "realforce". My question: Is there another way to find an equation that can describe themotion of this orbit before the masses are stopped, allowing me tofind an expression for the radius of circular motion, period, and?
Thank you kindly.

Explanation / Answer
for star m1 the radius about which it revolvus ism2r/(m1+m2) now use the newton equation m1( m2r/(m1+m2))w2 =G m1m2/r2 so w= G(m1+m2)1/2/r3/2 so T= 2/w= 2r3/2 /G(m1+m2)1/2 radius of revolution= m2r/(m1+m2)i hope it makes the doubt clear
