What is Measuring gravity?

Answer 1

relative gravity instrument (′rel·əd·iv ′grav·əd·ē ′in·strə·mənt)

(engineering) Any device for measuring the differences in the gravity force or acceleration at two or more points.

Answer 2

Actually, one CAN measure gravity. Gravity varies by location on the Earth's surface according things like your: latitude, position wrt the geoid surface, closeness (or distance) to mountains, or if you're over water or land, or if there are large ore bodies beneath you. These are all things that geophysicists mess with. They measure the Earth's pull with an instrument called--not too surprisingly-- a gravimeter; the units are called milligals.

It's a neat technique for examining buried features in the Earth's crust, and even deeper...with the right kind of data processing.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

what do you mean what is measuring gravity? i know how to measure gravity. you use a scale thingy hold it in the air and then put what ever you want to measure for its gravity on the hook and read where the line is. simple.

Answer 4

Hi. Using a device such as the dumbbell shaped weight on a fine wire to detect the gravitational pull between lead spheres. Think it was called a torsional scale.

Answer 5

measuring the acceleration a body falls down.

Answer 6

Weighing

Answer 7

g=32.2 ft/sec^2, or g=9.8 meters/sec^2.
It is measured in physics lab.
Please read physics lab. Manuel for further reference.

Answer 8

You've either answered your own question, or you need to rephrase it.
