The 13 pages that link to Cavendish experiment, each with the reason it gives.

• Newton's law of universal gravitationBroader topic: It tested the law directly with nearby masses and enabled determination of Earth's density.

• GravityBroader topic: It enabled an experimental determination of Earth’s density and the gravitational constant.

• J. J. ThomsonNarrower topic: Cavendish’s name linked Thomson’s laboratory to an older tradition of precise physical measurement.

• Cavendish LaboratoryRelated: Although conducted before the laboratory existed, it supplied the institution’s namesake and experimental heritage.

• Gravitational constantBroader topic: It marked the first successful laboratory measurement of gravitational attraction between known masses.

• Conservation of angular momentumRelated: Its torsion balance illustrates how measurable torque produces angular acceleration rather than preserving angular momentum.

• Experimental physicsBroader topic: It shows how delicate apparatus can measure an extremely weak force.

• Henry CavendishBroader topic: Cavendish’s best-known measurement used this apparatus and method.

• Earth's massBroader topic: Its method enabled an estimate of Earth's mean density and mass.

• Physical constantBroader topic: It enabled an experimental determination of Earth's density and the gravitational constant.

• Torsion balanceBroader topic: Henry Cavendish used a torsion balance to determine Earth's mean density.

• Schiehallion experimentCompared with: It pursued Earth’s density with a different method and achieved greater precision.

• Loránd EötvösCompared with: Cavendish measured Newton's gravitational constant; Eötvös adapted torsion-balance precision to test gravity's universality.
