Enter the total tidal force and the mass of the body of water into the calculator to determine the Tidal Acceleration.

## Tidal Acceleration Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Tidal Acceleration.

TA = TF / mW

• Where TA is the Tidal Acceleration (m/s^2)
• TF is the total tidal force (N)
• mW is the mass of the body of water (kg)

## What are the units for Tidal Acceleration?

The most common units for Tidal Acceleration are m/s^2.

## How to Calculate Tidal Acceleration?

Example Problem:

The following example problem outlines the steps and information required to calculate the Tidal Acceleration.

First, determine the total tidal force. In this example, the total tidal force is measured to be 400000 (N).

Next, determine the mass of the body of water. For this problem, the mass of the body of water is calculated to be 300000 (kg).

Finally, calculate the Tidal Acceleration using the formula above:

TA = TF / mW

Inserting the values from above and solving the equation gives us:

TA = 400000 / 300000 = 1.333 (m/s^2)
