Lenzen and Robert P. Multhauf is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. The work delves into the historical progress and technical advancements of gravity pendulums, focusing on their application for measuring gravitational force on Earth during the 19th century. It traces the evolution from early experimental pendulums influenced by figures like Galileo and Newton to the sophisticated instruments used for precise gravitational measurements. The opening of this publication provides an overview of the importance of gravity measurements in physics and geodesy. It discusses the basic concepts surrounding gravity, such as absolute and relative gravity, and briefly touches on the foundational experiments conducted by notable scientists like Galileo, Huygens, and Newton. The text emphasizes the pendulum as a critical instrument for gauging gravity, particularly addressing its evolution from simple pendulums to more complex forms, such as the compound and reversible pendulums. The authors lay the groundwork for a comprehensive exploration of the various types and functions of pendulums developed throughout the 19th century.
