Randall D. Knight β Newton's Theory of Gravity: Problem 40
Today, optical techniques can be used to measure displacements of nm. Suppose a 120 kg lead sphere is suspended from a 55.0-cm-long spring, stretching the spring by 15.0 cm. This sphere is then observed to move an additional 1.60 nm when a second 120 kg sphere is slowly raised from below to where the distance between their centers is 28.0 cm. What value of G is determined from this experiment?

Given: 120 kg, 15.0 cm, 28.0 cm
