Summary
| Description |
English: Diagram of torsion balance used in the Cavendish experiment performed by Henry Cavendish in 1798. It measured the force of gravity between masses M and m, yielding the value of the gravitational constant G. Labels: (M) mass of stationary lead balls, (m) mass of movable lead balls, (F) gravitational force between each pair of balls, () angle of deflection of balance from equilibrium position, (K) torsion spring coefficient, (r) distance between centers of balls when balance is deflected (L) length of balance beam between centers of small balls. See Cavendish experiment, Harvard Lecture Demonstrations, Harvard Univ.
Русский: Схема крутильных весов Кавендиша. Установка измеряет силу притяжения между массами и для получения значения гравитационной постоянной – масса неподвижных свинцовых шаров, – масса подвижных свинцовых шариков, – сила притяжения между каждой парой шариков, – угол отклонения баланса от положения равновесия, () – коэффициент жёсткости торсионного подвеса, – расстояние между центрами шаров при закрученной нити подвеса, – длина балки между центрами маленьких шариков. |
