Radio wavelength observations of gas cloud swirling around a black hole in the center of our galaxy show that radiation from the hydrogen spin-flip transition (rest frequency = 1420.41 MHz) is detected at a frequency of 1421.23 MHz. If this gas cloud is located at a distance of 0.2 pc from the black hole and is orbiting in a circle, determine the speed of this cloud and whether it's moving toward or away from us and calculate the mass of the black hole.
