Question:

Observations show that a celestial body traveling at 1.2 x 106mi/h appears to be describing about Point B a circle of radius equal to 60 light years. Point B is suspected of being a very dense concentration of mass called a black hole. Determine the ratio MB/MS of the mass at B to the mass of the sun. (The mass of the sun is 330,000 times the mass of the earth, and a light year is the distance traveled by light in one year at a velocity of 186,300 mi/s.)
