It is called Gravimeter, a device used to measure standard acceleration. Under Newton's gravitational theory, this standard acceleration is assumed to be caused by a pseudo-force called "gravitational force". Hence, the name "Gravimeter".
The process and study of such measurement is called Gravimetry. SI Unit = m/s²
Globers try to prove gravity from this device how do you answer them?
Tell them that this is not measuring gravity, but standard acceleration of free falling objects in vacuum. The cause is assumed to be a force. This device is not measuring this cause.
Alrighty thanks if i have any other question I'll ask you
Weird. Things don't accelerate relative to each other in free fall...
That contradicts how acceleration works.
I had no idea
Good point
A made-up force that can't be demonstraed in reailty/
