Integral for of Gauss’ Law
For spherically symmetric cases, g is in the radial direction, and so is n-hat

Example 1
Find the gravitational field for a spherical ring of mass with inner radius a and outer radius b. Find g for

a < r < b
r > b

Ocean Tides
The Moon and Sun exert tidal forces on the Earth. This is because the strength of the gravitational force varies with distance, so that the near side of the Earth feels a larger force or acceleration than the far side.
We can differentiate the gravitational force equation to see how its strength varies over a distance dR.

Tides
Continuing: Multiplying both sides by dR yields
If we want to figure out differential force across the size of the Earth, set dR = REarth . Then let d be the separation between M and m.

Tides
Spring Tides occur when tidal forces from Sun and Moon are parallel.
Neap Tides occur when tidal forces from Sun and Moon are perpendicular.
Moon returns to upper transit 53 minutes later each day, so high tide occurs approximately 53 minutes later each day.

White BoardsIn the early 1980's the planets were all located on the same side of the Sun, with a maximum angular separation of roughly 90 degrees as seen from the Sun. This rough alignment was sufficient to make possible the Voyager spacecraft grand tour. Some people claimed that this planetary alignment would produce destructive earthquakes, triggered by the cumulative tidal effects of all the planets. Very few scientists took this seriously! To understand why, compute the max tidal effects on Earth produced by Jupiter (the most massive planet) and Venus (the closest planet). Compare these tidal effects to those caused by the Moon each month.

Example
Astronomical measurements indicate that the orbital speed of masses in many spiral galaxies rotating about their centers is approximately constant as a function of distance from the center of the galaxy. Show that this experimental result is inconsistent with the galaxy having its mass concentrated near the center of the galaxy and can be explained if the mass of the galaxy increases with distance R.
