Scientific paper

Tidal forces caused by a slowly rotating spherical mass are calculated using the relativistic theory of tides. The possibility of measuring the gravitational 'magnetic' contribution of the earth to the tidal acceleration between test masses in a satellite is considered. It is shown that in such an experiment unexpectedly large secular 'magnetic' contributions can occur. Already after about 20 days of observation this new effect would reach a value which is larger than the total error of measurement by a factor of 100.
