An iceberg weighing 1,000 tons is floating in the North Atlantic. Consider the gravitational forces on the iceberg due to the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Put these gravitational forces in order of increasing magnitude.
   You do not need to do any calculations. Use reasoning, or simply guess.


  1.Earth < Moon < Sun
  2.Earth < Sun < Moon
  3.Moon < Sun < Earth
  4.Moon < Earth < Sun
  5.Sun < Moon < Earth
  6.Sun < Earth < Moon

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
