To solve the problem of finding the common angular velocity and time period of two stars in a double star system, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the System**: We have two stars with masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) separated by a distance \( d \). They rotate around their center of mass. 2. **Determine the Center of Mass**: The center of mass \( x \) of the system can be found using the formula: \[ ...
