Re: [Phys-l] FW: universal gravitation lab

[William Maddox <maddox@physics.Auburn.EDU>]

From: WC Maddox

If anyone wants to do a real equipment experiment involving gravity, 
Tel-Atomic has a version of the Cavendish experiment that uses a 
computer to analyze the data. The apparatus cost ~ $2,000. In the 
past this experiment often didn't get done due to the weakness of the 
force and the sensitivity of the apparatus to vibration. If anyone 
wanted to do it when I took advanced lab they had to come in at night.
