A simple framework based on the concept of quadrupole tidal potential is presented for the calculation of tidal deformation of an extended test body in a gravitational field. This method is used to study the behavior of an initially faraway nonrotating spherical body that moves close to a Schwarzschild or an extreme Kerr black hole. In general, an extended body moving in an external gravitational field emits gravitational radiation due to its center-of-mass motion, internal tidal deformation, and the coupling between the internal and center-of-mass motions. Estimates are given of the amount of tidal radiation emitted by the body in the gravitational fields considered. The results reported are expected to be of importance in the dynamical evolution of a dense stellar system with a massive black hole in its center.
