Abstract
A precision measurement of the gravitational constant has been made using a beam balance. Special attention has been given to determining the calibration, the effect of a possible nonlinearity of the balance and the zero-point variation of the balance. The equipment, the measurements, and the analysis are described in detail. The value obtained for is . The relative statistical and systematic uncertainties of this result are and , respectively.
