- TL;DR Summary
- Has anyone tried to measure a change in gravity?
Imagine I hang a mass from the ceiling of a building using a rope.
The mass is hanging 2m above the floor.
Also tied "in line" with this rope, and between the weight and the ceiling, is a scale that measures the weight of the mass.
Let's say the scale reads 10 Newtons.
Now, between the weight and the floor, I insert blades of different materials, in an effort to "block" gravity.
Maybe a blade of lead, or gold, or diamonds, or glass etc.
Has anyone tried experiments like these, to see if some materials can "block" gravity between the Earth and the mass, and notice any change in the hanging scale?
