摘要:
The Cavendish experiment is always interpreted now as a measurement ofG, the universal gravitational constant, but that is an interpretation that Cavendish did not make. He thought that he had measured the mean density of the Earth, and he was only one of many experimenters measuring the density of the Earth by many methods during the 18th century.
