Abstract
Eccentricities of the mass center from the geometric center of two cylindrical source masses used in the HUST-99 measurement of the Newtonian gravitational constant are determined by means of an electronic balance. Considering a linear density distribution of source masses as well as the effect of the air buoyancy, our value of should be revised to be , which is 0.036% larger than our previous published value in Phys. Rev. D 59, 042001 (1999).
