Newton's knew his equilibrium theory of tides was incomplete because the maximum theoretical range
  was significantly lower than actual tidal ranges. What will be an ideal response?



Question 2

Tides are capable of slowing the Earths rotation by the following force:a.
   Tidal friction
  b. Gravitational forces
  c. Resonance
  d. Centrifugal forces

Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Lunar tidal range had a maximum theoretical range of 55 centimeter. The solar tidal range had an even
smaller yield of a 24 centimeter range. These are both considerably smaller than the 2 meter tidal range
that is observed on Earth. Information can be found in the section The Dynamic Theory of Tides Adds
Fluid Motion Dynamics to the Equilibrium.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The daily rise and fall of the tides consumes a large amount of energy and this is ultimately dissipated
as heat. Most of this energy comes from the rotation of the Earth itself, and tidal friction is gradually
slowing the Earths rotation by a few hundredths of a second per century. Information can be found in
the section Tidal Friction Slows the Earths Rotation
