Two celestial bodies whose masses are m1 and m2 are revolving around their common center of mass and the
distance between them is L. Assuming that they are both point masses, Find the angular speed, tangential
speeds of the masses m1 and m2, and period of the motion.

Universal Gravitational Constant, G=6,6742867E-11 m3 kg / s2
(Note that the exponent is negative)
Radius of Earth, RE: 6,3781366E+06 m
Mass of Earth, ME: 5,9721426E+24 kg

m1=10^12kg

m2=10^11kg

L=10^8m

7,27210E+00 m1

3,85280E+00 m2

6,16500E+00 L
