When g was first measured in the 1700s how did newspapers report the experiment?

G was first measured by henry cavendish, the newspaper report it as the weighing of the earth experiment. because when henry cavendish measured the value of G, this allows physicist to calculate the mass of the earth using the newton's law of gravitation.

Hi!

Assuming the 9in is the radius, we would multiply it by 2, or add it to itself. We then get 18 in.

Hope this helps!
