• The basis of the gravity survey method is Newton’s Law of Gravitation,which states that the force of
attraction F between two masses m1 and m2, whose dimensions are small with respect to the distance r
between them, is given by where G is the Gravitational Constant (6.67 x 10^-11 m3kg-1s-2).

• Consider the gravitational attraction of a spherical, non-rotating,homogeneous Earth of mass Mand

radius Ron a small mass mon its surface.It is relatively simple to show that the mass of a sphere acts as
though it were concentrated at the centre of the sphere and by substitution in equation (6.1)
• Gravimeters are basically spring balances carrying a
constant mass. In Fig. 6.1 a spring of initial length s has
been stretched by an amount dsas a result of an increase
in gravity dg increasing the weight of the suspended mass
m.
