Y’know, I went and looked at the current Wikipedia page for the Cavendish experiment. There’s apparently more nuance than my simple outline offers, particularly as G wasn’t treated as an isolated quantity till decades after his experiment. Linking directly to section anchor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_experiment#Reformulation_of_Cavendish's_result_to_G https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_experiment#Reformula... There is less description than I would like, but I am happy to have been made aware of the discrepancy at all.
