Three particles, each of mass 'm' are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side 'a'. the only force acting on the particles are their mutual gravitatinoal foces. It is desired that each particle move on a circle, while maintaining the original mutual separation 'a'. Find the initial velocity that should be given to each particle and also the time period of the circular motion.
