Binary stars of comparable masses rotate under influence of each others gravity about their common centre of mass,P If the product of gravitational field at P due to smaller star and the inverse of centripetal acceleration of smaller star is 16/27 then find the ratio of the mass of smaller star to bigger star...

Answer:
Gravitatational force balance the centripetal force for both the stars so we have
where d = r1+r2
from above 
from mthe above equation we try to get m1/m2 ratio. we try to get better solution if possible
