This visible star has moves in a circle of radius r1 and has orbital period T. Variations in the brightness of nearby stars suggest that the unseen companion moves in a circle of radius r2 (see the figure). Find the approximate masses (a) m1 of the visible star and (b) m2 of the dark star. Express your answer in terms of r1r2T, and G.
