5:59 When to use the two Force of Gravity equations

  • An interesting point: According to The University of Oxford Department of Physics, "Cavendish used the balance in 1798 and measured the mean density of the earth at 5.48g/cm3. This implied that G was 6.754x10-11m3s-2kg-1 although Cavendish did not derive it." Therefore Cavendish actually never calculated G. I apologize for this oversight! Thank you to Dan Burns for pointing out this error.
