Two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) is a method for measuring the sensitivity of a person or animal to some particular sensory input, stimulus, through that observer's pattern of choices and response times to two versions of the sensory input.
[2] [3] [4] Because of the unit conventions then in use, the gravitational constant does not appear explicitly in Cavendish's work. Instead, the result was originally expressed as the relative density of Earth, [5] or equivalently the mass of Earth. His experiment gave the first accurate values for these geophysical constants.
A much more accurate experiment using a torsion balance was carried out by Loránd Eötvös starting around 1885, with further improvements in a lengthy run between 1906 and 1909. Eötvös's team followed this with a series of similar but more accurate experiments, as well as experiments with different types of materials and in different ...
A less tedious means of achieving dynamic balance requires just four measurements. 1) initial imbalance reading 2) an imbalance reading with a test mass attached on a reference point 3) The test mass moved to 120 degrees ahead and the imbalance again noted. 4) The test mass finally moved to 120 degrees behind the reference point.
