Beam Balance Page

Determination of the Gravitational Constant with a Beam Balance describes using a mass comparator to measure the gravitational force of 13 tons of mercury, refining the accuracy of the Newtonian gravitational constant

Weber's Law Modeled by the Mathematical Description of a Beam Balance proposes that the mathematical mechanics of a beam balance can actually model how human sensory and receptor systems perceive changes in stimuli. beam balance

The balance operates in a low-seismic-noise laboratory in Sardinia, Italy. It has achieved sensitivity in the tens of mHz frequency band, limited only by thermal noise, which is essential for detecting the incredibly small forces associated with vacuum energy.
