if two spheres which are R apart are rotating about a center point between them and they have their own masses, m1 and m2, and have only gravity affecting them. how do i determine their radii in terms of their masses and the orbital period T?

its 5am here, theres no way i can read all that and understand it... can you give me an explanation which is more comprehensible?

use the conservation of angular momentum about the centre point...
|dw:1338801480957:dw|

find ratio of angular velocities using law of grativation and equate them with the ratio of moment of inertia (using the above equation)..this should work.if u get struck then tell me..
