It's not the mass of the Earth, but its isolation came from an experiment using a torsion balance run by Henry Cavendish.
When this number is multiplied by an object's mass, the result is a "parameter" symbolized mu. It's not the mass of the Earth, but its isolation came from an experiment using a torsion balance run by Henry Cavendish. It helps find the strength a force that is inversely related to the square of two objects' distance and directly proportional to those objects' masses. Roughly 6.67 times 10 to the negative 11th power, this is, for 10 points, what constant of proportionality symbolized capital G?
