How to Measure Gravity, or Gravitational Pull?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the technical measurement of gravitational pull from various bodies, including molecules, rocks, planets, and stars. The inquiry specifically seeks methods to measure gravitational force without relying on falling bodies or their relation to speed, mass, and air resistance. A gravimeter is identified as a potential solution for measuring gravitational pull. The conversation invites further input from others to explore additional measurement techniques. This exploration aims to contribute to a larger scientific equation.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

I would like to propose the following Question, Is there a way to technically Measure the Gravitational Pull of a body? (body being any of the following: molecule, physical item like a rock, or a planet or a star).

I am not looking for a sample of a falling body, and the relation to speed & mass & time vs air resistance. I am looking for a way to physically or electronically measure the Gravitation pull or force of a body.

Thank You and hope to hear from many folks, as this would help me figure out another part of an even larger equation.

Thank You for Your Great Example, I also found a Gravimeter, it manufactured by

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
