A carbon dioxide molecule in gravity free space may be viewed as three roughly equal masses with carbon in the middle and two oxygens in equilibrium on either side. Ignore the possible bending of the system in a transverse direction perpendicular to the line of the molecule.
A) Assume vibrations along the line of the molecule and find the three normal modes (normal coordinates) and normal frequencies, assuming spring constants k and masses m.
B) Look up the values for the wavelengths of these frequencies and evaluate the spring constant (approximately) for your problem.

Two identical stars with mass m orbit around their center of mass. each orbit is circular and has radius r, so that the two stars are always on opposite sides of the circle. (a) find the gravitational force of one star on the other. (b) find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit. (c) how much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?
