Seely et al. ◀ Finite element analysis of a near impact event ▶ 2018 ICC 70 pass event: ( ) ( ) 1 2 2 j j j F t G M V r t ρ = , (8) where ρ 1 is the average density of the stationary body found by averaging the densities of the core and mantle materials. The total force (F t ) experienced by each element on the stationary body during the fly-by is the sum of the self-gravity and passing body forces. Figure 19. Topographical surface map of the planet Mars (NASA/JPL) projected onto a spherical surface. The global distribution of highlands and lowlands is consistent with the residual radial displacements observed in this study. Counter clockwise from the upper left are shown: (E) polar view, equatorial views of (C) near-side surface, (B) retreat-side surface, (D) far-side surface, and (B) approach-side surface. The polar and equatorial views refer to the axis of near passage which is offset from Martian rotation axis by approximately 50 degrees.
