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.
= 54.5 pounds per acre. = 55 bags. Pounds of seed per acre = 150,000 seeds per acre / 2,750 seeds per pound. = 54.5 pounds per acre. Seed needed = (50 acres * 54.5 pounds per acre) / (50 pounds per bag). = 55 bags. 2. You are planting wheat at 30 plants per foot of row with a 7.5 inch row spacing.The weight of the seed you are planting is 12,500 seeds per pound.ou have two soybean varieties that you planted at a 1 Bu/A rate (60 lbs/a). One had a seed weight of 2,200 seeds per pound; the other, 3,000 seeds per pound. The larger seeded variety (fewer seeds per pound) would be planted at 132,000 seeds per acre, while the smaller seed was planted at 180,000 seeds per acre.
