"The tidal acceleration moves water about two meters in six hours.
The free fall acceleration moves water two meters in about 0.4 seconds.
The force is related to the square of the ratio of those times. That's gives a measure of the low-down scale of tidal forces."
Oh, dear oh dear.....
Please tell me that you don't think that is in any way true?
