Gravity

Here are entered works relating to measurement of the resultant effect of the gravitational attraction and centrifugal repulsion between any body and a planet or other celestial body, including works on earth's gravity. Theoretical works on the phenomenon of gravitation, i.e. the attraction between masses anywhere in the universe, and on determinations of the constant of gravitation are entered under the heading Gravitation.
