Title
Measurement Of G For Small Inter-Mass Spacings.
Abstract
An experimental project is currently under way at the University of Central Florida to measure the Newtonian gravitational constant G for inter-mass spacings r in the range 0. 3 cm greater than r greater than 3 cm. A Cavendish balance for measuring the gravitational attraction between disk-shaped masses has been constructed. The balance functions as a fully automated electrobalance with the incorporation of a microcomputer for the monitoring and recording of data and the manipulation of the balance. A complete description of the design and operation of this Cavendish balance is presented.
