The satellites revolve around a planet in coplanar circular orbits in anticlockwise direction. Their period of revolutions are 1 hour and 8 hour respectively. The radius of the orbit of nearer satellite is 2 × 103 km. The angular speed of the farther satellite as observed from the nearer satellite at the instant when both the satellites are closest is where x is__________.

Consider a binary star system of star A and star B with masses mA and mB revolving in a circular orbit of radii rA and rB, respectively. If TA and TB are the time period of star A and star B, respectively, then:
Consider a binary star system of star A and star B with masses mA and mB revolving in a circular orbit of radii rA and rB, respectively. If TA and TB are the time period of star A and star B, respectively, then:
Since binary mass system performs circular motion about is common centre of mass, so
Similarly we can show that
Hence their angular velocity will be same, time period will be same, i.e. TA = TB
