Evotos Experiment: Equator vs. 45° Latitude

[edpell]

Has anyone ever done the Evotos experiment on the equator and then at say 45 degree latitude? Would I be correct in saying that SR would predict the one on the equator (traveling faster) would measure a larger mass than the one located at 45 degrees latitude?

The Eotvos experiment (not Evotos) doesn't measure mass.

Yes, it is possible that someone has conducted the Evotos experiment on the equator and at 45 degrees latitude. However, it is important to note that the results of the experiment may vary depending on the specific conditions and variables involved.

In terms of Special Relativity (SR), it is true that the object on the equator, which is traveling faster due to the Earth's rotation, would experience a larger mass than the one located at 45 degrees latitude. This is because according to the theory of relativity, the faster an object moves, the more mass it gains.

However, it is also important to consider other factors such as the gravitational pull of the Earth at different latitudes, which could potentially affect the results of the experiment. Additionally, the accuracy and precision of the measurements taken during the experiment also play a crucial role in determining the validity of the results.

In conclusion, while SR would predict a larger mass for the object on the equator, it is important to conduct the experiment carefully and account for all relevant variables in order to accurately compare the results between the two locations.
