Excerpt from Elementary Theory of the Tides: The Fundamental Theorems Demonstrated Without Mathematics, and the Influence on the Length
M12 or Ma:2 me2, i.e. As the moon's force at E force at it; therefore, if Ma: represent the moon's force at at, Ma will represent the force at E in magnitude and direction, and the difference or disturbing force will be represented in magnitude and direction by am. In order to have a fixed scale we must represent the force at the centre by me. On this scale am is in the nearer hemisphere too small.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a foundational understanding of the tides without the use of advanced mathematics. It follows on from the work of Sir Isaac Newton, described as the 'first scientific explanation of the tides'. The author demonstrates how the gravitational forces of the moon and sun create the twice-daily rise and fall of sea levels. The book builds on this foundation to discuss tidal phenomena such as high and low tides, tidal currents, and the effect of the tides on the rotation of the Earth. It concludes with the significant role the tides have played in shaping our planet's history and the lives of those who live by the sea.
