we dont know the mass of the astroid, how do we use the equation you have provided?

Tidal forces can break apart objects that orbit too close to a planet, producing rings like those of Saturn. Consider an asteroid 600km in radius, 65mm from Saturn's center. What's the difference in gravitational acceleration between the two sides of the asteroid?

Thanks for your help, I guess we took different approaches to this so now I'm a little confused. Is it possible to explain a little clearer?

From an observation tower that overlooks a runway, the angles of depression of point A, on one side of the runway, and point B, on the opposite side of the runway are 6 degrees and 13 degrees, respectively. The points and the tower are in the same vertical plane and the distan...

Yes but why is it 45 degrees? I'm dividing 8 into 16 = .5 then cos-1 .5 = 60. Nothing I do is giving me 45 degrees. Hope you get notified when a thread is updated, I'm inclined to repost this incase. Thanks again for your great answering.
