A. L. Dmitriev and V. S. SnegovUDC 531.78The influence of vertical gradients of gravity, air density and temperature, magnetic induction, as well as air convection on the measured mass of an extended specimen is theoretically estimated. An experiment designed to compare the mass of a vertically oriented nonmagnetic titanium bar to the same bar when oriented in the horizontal plane is described. Possible factors responsible for the discrepancy between the experimental results obtained and the theoretical estimates presented are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
