Summary: I should have posted this before but I was trying to come up with a good way to explain this. Instead I will attempt an explanation and you can leave a comment with any questions you have.
Scientists are now using the principles of centripetal motion to calculate the mass of a black hole. Though its not stated in the article the basic equations are F=(Gm1m2)/r^2=(mv^2)/r
I'm assuming that these will be used to find the mass.
