12.64 A dumbbell has a mass m on either end of a rod of length 2a. The center of the dumbbell is a distance r from the center of the Earth, and the dumbbell is aligned radially. If r≫a, the difference in the gravitational force exerted on the two masses by the Earth is approximately 4GmMEa/r3. (Note: The difference in force causes a tension in the rod connecting the masses. We refer to this as a tidal force.) Suppose the...
