1 Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. 2  Never use a plunger if a chemical cleaner is present in the drain; you risk splashing the chemical on yourself.  Never remove a trap with chemicals present; you risk burns to your skin. Call a professional but make certain you inform them of what chemical you used.
Originally Answered: Why is the Moon drifting away by 1 cm each year? Because of tidal forces between moon and Earth. As Earth and moon pull each other, bulges are created on the surface.
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.
