Determine the mass of the smaller star

Reference no: EM13498312

Two stars in a binary system orbit around their center of mass. The centers of the two stars are 7.30 x 10^11 m apart. The larger of the two stars has a mass of 3.30 x 10^30 kg, and its center is 2.10 x10^11 m from the system's center of mass. What is the mass of the smaller star?
