Gravitational law demonstration. 19th-century illustration of the apparatus devised by French physicist Arthur Jules Morin (1795-1880) to demonstrate the law of falling bodies. The apparatus consists of a cylinder rotating beside a falling body, with a marker on the falling body tracing a curve on the cylinder. This allowed an accurate experimental proof of the theories of Galileo and Newton. This illustration is from 'Physique Populaire' (Emile Desbeaux, 1891). | |
