- Consider a star of mass $ m_2 $ kg revolving in a circular orbit around another star of mass $ m_1 $ kg with $ m_1 \gg m_2 $. The heavier star slowly acquires mass from the lighter star at a constant rate of $ \gamma $ kg/s. In this transfer process, there is no other loss of mass. If the separation between the centers of the stars is $ r $, then its relative rate of change $ \frac{1}{r} \frac{dr}{dt} $ (in s$^{-1}$) is given by:
