Q: What is the velocity of star B? One can go through exactly the same procedure as for star A ... or one can recognize that it has the same period, but an orbital radius which is larger by R_B M_A 15 ------- = ------ = ----- R_A M_B 1 which means that the velocity must also be larger by the same factor: V_B = 15 V_A = 367 km/s
