How to Calculate Earth Tidal Dilation

Earth Tidal Dilation is the amount of time it will take for a tidal force to reach the point of impact. Earth Tidal Dilation is at the core of many theorists’ ideas about well-aquifer systems and the slowing of the earth’s spin. Earth Tidal Dilation is also known as Tidal Time Dilation and is a short equation that can help you determine when a tide starting at point A will reach you at point B.

Instructions

    • 1

      Determine the amplitude of the tidal dilation by using the Poisson's ratio.

    • 2

      Multiply one by ten to the power of negative eight, to determine the approximate height/amplitude of the tidal dilation.

    • 3

      Write the resulting number on a piece of paper labelled M2.

    • 4

      Write the time the tidal dilation begins and mark it as T, to represent what time the tidal dilation will begin at its point of origin, not at its point of end.

    • 5

      Write the speed of light and mark it with a C. Theorists have been arguing about the speed of light for a long time and the number used as the speed of light often changes. The most common number used today is: 299 792 458 m/s.

    • 6

      Mark the amplitude/velocity of the tidal dilation as V. The amplitude/velocity is the number written down as M2 prior.

    • 7

      Multiply the velocity to the power of two and the speed of like to the power of two. Call these V2 and C2.

    • 8

      Divide V2 by C2. Call this V3.

    • 9

      Subtract V3 from 1. Call this V4.

    • 10

      Take the square root of V4. Call this V5.

    • 11

      Divide T (time the tidal dilation begins) by V5, to determine the Earth Tidal Dilation.
