The gravitational constant G was first measured accurately byHenry Cavendish in 1798. He used an exquisitely sensitive balanceto measure the force between two lead spheres whose centers were0.29 m apart. One of the spheres had a mass of 138 kg, while themass of the other sphere was 0.93 kg. Part A What was the ratio ofthe gravitational force between these spheres to the weight of thelighter sphere?
