The Cavendish balance, invented by Henry Cavendish in 1798, is an apparatus designed to measure the force of gravitational attraction between masses. It consists of a horizontal bar suspended from a thin wire, with small lead balls attached to each end. When larger lead spheres are brought near the smaller ones, the gravitational pull causes the bar to twist, and the angle of this twist is measured using a scale. This allows for the calculation of the gravitational constant and ultimately leads to the determination of the Earth's density.

Who discovered the exact value for the gravitational constant and how did the person discover it?
The exact value for the gravitational constant (G) was first measured by Henry Cavendish in 1798 through his famous experiment using a torsion balance. Cavendish's apparatus consisted of a horizontal bar suspended from a thin wire, with lead spheres attached to the ends. By measuring the tiny gravitational attraction between the spheres, he was able to calculate the density of the Earth, from which he inferred the value of G. Although Cavendish did not measure G directly, his work laid the foundation for its accurate determination.
