Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.
Answer:
r = 9.92 mm
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of oil drop, 
It acquires 2 surplus electrons, q = +2e 
Potential difference, V = 620 V
Thie potential difference is applied between the pair of horizontal metal plates the drop is in equilibrium.
We need to find the distance between the plates.
At equilibrium,
mg = qE
Since, E = V/r (r is distance between plates)

So, the distance between the plates is 9.92 mm.
As weight =w =mg
g= gravitational acceleration on mercury = 3.7m/sec2
Mass of person =m= 70 kg
So w =(70kg)(3.7m/sec2)
w= 259 kgm/sec2
W= 259 N
