OCR: The mass and distance of the Moon and Sun are as follows: Mm = 73.5 x 1021 kg; Mg = 1.99 x 1030kg Tm = 3.84 x 105km; 13 = 1.5 x 108 km Compute Ftm Solution: 73.5 x 1021x (1.5 x 108)3 248 x 1045-45 = Fts 1.99 x 1030 x (3.84 x 105)3 113 =2.2 So the tidal force exerted by the Moon is more than double that exerted by the Sun on the Earth.
