    Calculating direction of pull on Earth

    Perhaps I need some time to think it through, given the above example , result and formula. This is not my formula or one from a testbook. It is merely a theory that I wish to prove. Yes this author does use some unconventional equations based on the ones found in a textbook or have been proven...

    Calculating direction of pull on Earth

    This is what I have: The way to determine it by using vectors of force. Plot out all of the forces on Earth, then break those forces down to their component parts, add the components up, then recombine to get a new vector that shows you the net result of all major forces. If we have a square...

    Calculating direction of pull on Earth

    Thanks, but since I am trying to calculate the direction in which the Earth is being pulled, I think I need to take the individual planets into account, calculate them individually and Net the result of all planets out to Saturn. I realize the effects of the Sun and Moon are major, but it will...

    Calculating direction of pull on Earth

    Hi there, I have been reading a book in which the author gives me a result of his calculation and I am trying to work it backwards to prove whether he is correct. On July 20, 2005 he states that the combined forces pulling on Earth was 285.8 degrees. He mentions the gravitational formula...
