Cavendish-like: A schematic diagram of the proposed experiment on gravitational interaction between two torsion balances. Two torsion pendula are placed with their equilibrium orientations (dashed ...

Cavendish’s experiment, carried out in the 1790’s, used a barbell-shaped apparatus with two weights at the end of a long rod suspended from a wire in the center.

IN the last number of the Proceedings of the Royal Society (vol. xlvi. p. 253), I have given an account of the improvements that I have made in the apparatus of Cavendish for measuring the ...
