But the gravitational force exceeds it and the water is pulled toward the moon, causing a bulge of water on the near side toward the moon (Ross, D.A., 1995). On the opposite side of the Earth, or the far side, the gravitational attraction of the moon is less because it is farther away.Here, inertia exceeds the gravitational force, and the water tries to keep going in a straight line, moving away from the Earth, also forming a bulge (Ross, D.A., 1995).ravity, Inertia, and the Two Bulges. Two tidal bulges are created on opposite sides of the Earth due to the moon's gravitational force and inertias counterbalance. Click the image for a larger view.
To take a closer look at the issue of alfalfa seeding rates, letâs start at the beginning with the seed itself. One of my references indicates that there are 199,000 alfalfa seeds per pound. If that one pound was evenly spread over one acre (43,560 ft.2), there would be in the neighborhood of five seeds per square foot.
First, I apologize for all of my stupid questions, im going from doing a few acres as a hobby to doing close to 200 acres for a living, so now seed cost matters! What does everyone pay on average per pound for timothy and alfalfa seed (gmo free)? Apprentice Forage Grower.
