Small balances used for weighing earth
Dr. Paw Heyl demonstrates a delicate apparatus weighing earth by gravitational attraction. Using two steel cylinders and small platinum balls, the experiment measures minuscule forces to test Newton's law and relate cylinder motion to earth’s mass. The setup uses a double room and ultraviolet observations to gauge tiny shifts in a pendulum-scale system.
