Tidal Force Calculator

Calculate the tidal force using the equation:
\[ F_{\text{tidal}} \approx \frac{2GMmr}{R^3} \] where \(G\) is the gravitational constant.

* Enter masses in kg, distances in m, and radius in m.

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Primary Mass, \( M \) (kg):

Example: 5.97×10²⁴ kg (mass of Earth)

Secondary Mass, \( m \) (kg):

Example: 7.35×10²² kg (mass of Moon)

Secondary Radius, \( r \) (m):

Example: 1.74×10⁶ m (radius of Moon)

Distance between Centers, \( R \) (m):

Example: 3.84×10⁸ m (Earth-Moon distance)
