Visualization of Tidal Forces

An explanation of how tidal forces are generated using a flat model of the Earth with beads attached to it.
This is the source of tides on Earth, though the actual mechanism for generating tides is more complicated with many subtleties.

    What an interesting comment, and I totally agree. Thanks. Whatever makes it easier for someone to gain an understanding of a particular topic in science, is a very useful tool to have in your possession, as long as it agrees with the observational data. However, why not save yourself the trouble of inventing more fictitious names, and just call it the "centrifugal force." A *real* force that only appears in an accelerated frame of reference, in exactly the same way that the so-called force of gravity does. Albeit for the one proviso, that it acts in the opposite direction to the aforementioned force. That's what Sir Isaac Newton would've done, and I wouldn't want to disagree with him, would you? All the best.

    I’ve realized that just with the title “Tidal Patterns”, its not easy to find they site I mentioned on my previous post. What I had posted on that site was: “Farther parts of the Earth are NOT SUFFICIENTLY attracted by the Moon in order to follow an orbit equal to the one of Earth´s C.M. (if they could move independently from the rest of the planet). Due to that, they try to get a farther orbit. They rest of they planet prevents that, exerting a "moonward" force. And those farther parts exert an opposite reaction force ... All those forces stretch farther solid Earth´s parts, and where water they so called hide tide bulge builds, trying to reach an equilibrium with own Earth´s attraction (not fully achievable due to they daily Earth´s quick rotation, what also is the cause of the some couple of hours gap between high tide meridian and Moon´s actual position). A "mirror" phenomenon happens at closer half of the Earth, because its parts are attracted by the Moon TOO MUCH for the average orbit, they try to get a closer orbit, but the rest of they planet prevents it ... “ And if anybody wants to see more about previous discussion, the link to mentioned KZread site is: Tidal Patterns

    With Udiprod’s permission, I’d like to attempt an answer for you, and then you might be kind enough to view my own “daft” little video and I’ll attempt to explain further? The viewpoint of the “cameras” has no effect on the observed phenomenon. The earth-moon system is definitely “accelerating” so, therefore, it is a non-inertial reference frame and must include the “apparent” forces. Regardless of whatever camera you want to view it with. Does that help? The “apparent” forces do not disappear just because you choose to view it through an inertial reference frame camera, but of course you (personally!) won’t feel the “apparent” forces because you’re now holding a inertial reference frame camera. So, I agree it does get confusing when you start mentioning reference frames?

The unfortunate mistake that Udiprod made here, was with the definition of an *Inertial* frame. An inertial frame does *not* include any forces, be they real or unreal. Analysing the tidal forces in an inertial frame is what's irrelevant here, I think.

    Hello Geraldo, yes this is excellent! And absolutely correct. That other cartoon you just watched is wrong, because it doesn’t acknowledge the existence of the “apparent” forces or the barycentre. The Earth doesn’t get moved towards the Moon in a straight line, filling bulges and leaving water behind. It actually moves in an orbit around the barycentre, and the far side tide is caused by a “fictitious” force, as is clearly shown in this video. The first section of this video is illustrating the effect of the “tidal force” which is due to a combination of gravity and inertia. And if that effect was allowed to continue then, the earth would collide with the moon in just over two days, so it doesn’t really give us much time to enjoy our daily tides. Thank you!
