Two stars of masses m1 and m2 are parts of a star system. The radii binary of their orbits are r1 and r2 respectively, measured from the centre of mass of the system. The magnitude of gravitational force m2 exerts on , is
The situation is as shown in the figure
According to Newtons law of gravitation force between two bodies of masses m1 and m2 is
where r is the distance between the two masses.
Here,
