| Abstract: | An elementary analysis of the problem of tides on an ideal Earth from a point of view of the forces involved proves to be a valuable exercise in terms of the applied mathematics as well as the physics. The approximations show their value both for obtaining analytic solutions and for exhibiting the symmetry‐breaking at higher order. |
