This book provides an up-to-date account of the precise experiments
used to explore the nature of universal gravitation that can be
performed in a terrestrial laboratory. The experiments required are
at the limits of sensitivity of mechanical measurements. The
problems of experiment design are discussed, and critical accounts
given of the principal experiments testing the inverse square law
and the principle of equivalence, and measuring the constant of
gravitation. An analysis of the effects of noise and other
disturbances is also provided, further highlighting the care that
is needed in experimental design and performance. The motivation
for undertaking such experiments is also discussed. The book will
be of value to graduate students, researchers and teachers who are
engaged in either theoretical or experimental studies of
gravitation, and who wish to understand the nature and problems of
laboratory experiments in this field.
