Title: Experimental test of the law of gravitation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The inverse square law of gravitation is tested with a low-frequency dynamic field in a range of distance R = 2.6--10.7 m. The result confirms the law within the experimental error, giving the deviation delta = (2.1 +- 6.2) x 10/sup -3/ from the harmonic potential where a form of the potential 1/R/sup 1+delta/ is assumed.
