When did Henry Cavendish report the measurement of the

Solution

Henry Cavendish:- • He was a brilliant scientist who made significant contributions to chemistry and physics. • He discovered hydrogen in 1766 and measured the gravitational constant in 1798. • His work on the gravitational constant was particularly important, as it provided the first accurate measurement of the force of gravity between masses in the laboratory. • He reported the measurement of the gravitational constant with the mass and density of the Earth in June 1798. His results were published in a 57-page paper in the Transactions of the Royal Society entitled "Experiments to Determine the Density of the Earth."
