Since binary mass system performs circular motion about is common centre of mass, so

m A ω A 2 r A = G m B m A ( r A + r B ) 2 = G m B m A r 2

m A ω A 2 × m B ( m A + m B ) r = G m B m A r 2

ω A = G ( m A + m B ) r 3

Similarly we can show that

ω B = G ( m A + m B ) r 3

Hence their angular velocity will be same, time period will be same, i.e. TA = TB

Time period of Satellite = T = 2 π R v = ( 4 π 2 R 3 G M ) 1 2  

⇒ T α R 3 2 ⇒ T 2 T 1 = ( 1 . 0 2 R ) 3 2 R 3 2 = ( 1 . 0 2 ) 3 2 = ( 1 + 0 . 0 2 ) 3 2     

The percentage difference in the time periods of the two satellites = Δ T T 1 × 100

= (0.03) × 100 = 3%

For circular motion Fnet   = M V 2 R

2 F + F ' = M V 2 R

2 G M M ( 2 R ) 2 + G M M ( 2 R ) 2 = M V 2 R                

G M R [ 1 2 + 1 4 ] = V 2              

V = 1 2 G M R ( 2 2 + 1 )

Acceleration due to gravity at r distance above the surface = G M ( R + r ) 2  

Acceleration due to gravity at r distance below the surface = G M R 3 ( R − r )

So, ratio = ( R − r ) ( R + r ) 2 R 3 = ( R − r ) ( R 2 + r 2 + 2 R r ) R 3 = 1 + r R − r 2 R 2 − r 3 R 3

at point P,

= K E P + P E P

= 1 2 m v P 2 + { − G M 1 m ( r / 2 ) − G M 2 m r / 2 }

at infinity (ie for escaping from both masses)

⇒ v P = 4 G ( M 1 + M 2 ) r
