2. Tides+Gravity (32 points): a. At what distance would the Moon have to be for you to weigh 0.01% less when it is directly overhead? [Hint: refer to your homework solutions). b. How high would typical ocean tide heights be if the Moon were that close? c. Calculate the Moon's orbital period at the distance you found in part a. d. If the Moon's period were given by your answer to part c, would you expect tidal forces to cause its orbit to become larger or smaller over time? Why?
