Measuring Acceleration Due to Gravity01:12

Measuring Acceleration Due to Gravity

763
Consider a coffee mug hanging on a hook in a pantry. If the mug gets knocked, it oscillates back and forth like a pendulum until the oscillations die out.
A simple pendulum can be described as a point mass and a string. Meanwhile, a physical pendulum is any object whose oscillations are similar to a simple pendulum, but cannot be modeled as a point mass on a string because its mass is distributed over a larger area. The behavior of a physical pendulum can be modeled using the principles of...

Gravimetry: Overview01:05

Gravimetry: Overview

7.0K
Gravimetric analysis is a quantitative method where the analyte is isolated and weighed directly or after conversion into a substance of known composition. Gravimetric analysis can be classified as precipitation, electrogravimetry, volatilization, and particulate gravimetry, based on the method used to isolate the analyte.
In precipitation gravimetry, the analyte is converted into a precipitate and weighed. For example, the silver content in a sample can be estimated by precipitating and...

Gravity between Spherical Bodies01:27

Gravity between Spherical Bodies

8.7K
Newton's law of gravitation describes the gravitational force between any two point masses. However, for extended spherical objects like the Earth, the Moon, and other planets, the law holds with an assumption that masses of spherical objects are concentrated at their respective centers.
This assumption can be proved easily by showing that the expression for gravitational potential energy between a hollow sphere of mass (M) and a point mass (m) is the same as it would be for a pair of extended...

Finding the Center of Gravity

3.9K
The center of gravity of a body is an imaginary point where the body's total weight is assumed to be concentrated, and the body is perfectly balanced. The center of the mass of a body is a point at which the whole of the mass of the body appears to be concentrated. If the acceleration due to gravity, g, has the same value at all points on a body, its center of gravity is identical to its center of mass. The center of gravity of homogeneous bodies such as a sphere, cube, or rectangular plate...

Variation in Acceleration due to Gravity near the Earth's Surface01:20

Variation in Acceleration due to Gravity near the Earth's Surface

2.5K
An object's apparent weight is its weight measured by a spring balance at its location. It is different from its true weight, the force with which the Earth pulls it, because of the Earth's rotation. Mathematically, an object's apparent weight equals its true weight minus the centripetal force that keeps it in a circular motion along with the Earth's surface every 24 hours.
The difference between the true and apparent weights is proportional to the square of the Earth's...

Precipitation Gravimetry01:03

Precipitation Gravimetry

7.9K
Precipitation gravimetry is based on converting an analyte into a sparingly soluble precipitate, which is separated by filtration and weighed. An ideal precipitate should be pure, insoluble, of known composition, and easily filtered from the reaction mixture.
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...

Area of Science:

  • Geophysics and Quantum Sensing

Background:

  • Gravity sensing is vital for geophysics, climate research, and geodesy.
  • Current gravity cartography is limited by long measurement times for noise reduction, hindering metre-scale underground feature resolution.

  • To develop a practical quantum gravity gradient sensor overcoming limitations of existing methods.
  • To demonstrate the sensor's capability in high-resolution underground surveying.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a quantum gravity gradient sensor that suppresses seismic, laser, thermal, magnetic, and tilt noise.
  • Achieved a statistical uncertainty of 20 E (20 x 10^-9 s^-2).
  • Conducted a 0.5-metre spatial resolution survey over an 8.5-metre line, detecting a 2-metre tunnel.

Main Results:

  • Successfully detected a 2-metre tunnel with a signal-to-noise ratio of 8.
  • Determined tunnel centre horizontally to ±0.19 metres and depth to (1.89 -0.59/+2.3) metres using Bayesian inference.
  • Demonstrated that reduced vibrational noise directly translates to shorter mapping times.

Conclusions:

  • The developed quantum gravity gradient sensor offers practical, high-resolution subsurface mapping.
  • The sensor's capabilities are suitable for diverse applications including aquifer monitoring, archaeology, and infrastructure development.
  • This technology provides a novel approach for underground exploration and risk assessment.
