To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum can be defined as the product between mass and velocity. We will depart to facilitate the understanding of the demonstration, considering the initial and final momentum separately, but for conservation, they will be later matched. Thus we will obtain the value of the mass. Our values will be defined as

m_1 = m

m_2 = M

v_{1i} =v_0

v_{2i} = 0

Initial momentum will be

P_i = m_iv_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}

P_i = mv_0

After collision

v_{1f} = v_{2f} = \frac{v_0}{3}

Final momentum

P_f = (m_1+m_2)(\frac{v_0}{3})

P_f = (m+M)(\frac{v_0}{3})

From conservation of momentum

P_f = P_i

Replacing,

(m+M)(\frac{v_0}{3})=mv_0

(m+M)\frac{1}{3} = m

m+M=3m

M=3m-m

M=2m

Answer:

1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}

Explanation:

M = Mass of each star

T = Time period = 15.5 days

v = Orbital velocity = 230 km/s

G = Gravitational constant = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2

Radius of orbit is given by

R=\dfrac{vT}{2\pi}

We have the relation

\dfrac{Mv^2}{R}=\dfrac{GM^2}{(2R)^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{4Rv^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{4\dfrac{vT}{2\pi}v^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{2v^3T}{\pi G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{2\times 230000^3\times 15.5\times 24\times 60\times 60}{\pi\times 6.674\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}

The mass of each star is 1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}
