Cavendish Experiment

The Cavendish Experiment is a seminal experimental procedure in experimental gravitation that belongs to the class of precision measurement techniques, distinguished by its use of a torsion balance to determine the gravitational constant (G) through the measurement of weak gravitational attraction between laboratory-scale masses.
