Binary stars of comparable masses rotate...

Binary stars of comparable masses rotates under the influence of each other's gravity at a distance `[(2G)/(omega^(2))]^(1//3)` where `omega` is the angular velocity of each of the system. If difference between the masses of two stars is `6` units. Find the ratio of the masses of smaller to bigger star.
