Target entity: Schiehallion experiment
Context triple: [Nevil Maskelyne, notableWork, Schiehallion experiment]
  • A. Cavendish experiment
    The Cavendish experiment was an 18th-century physics experiment by Henry Cavendish that measured the tiny gravitational attraction between lead spheres, allowing the first calculation of the gravitational constant and the mass of the Earth.
  • B. Eötvös experiment
    The Eötvös experiment is a classic physics test of the equivalence principle that measures whether different materials fall with the same acceleration in a gravitational field.
  • C. Ives–Stilwell experiment
    The Ives–Stilwell experiment is a classic test of special relativity that measured the relativistic Doppler effect to confirm time dilation for fast-moving ions.
  • D. On the Measurement of the Earth
    "On the Measurement of the Earth" is an ancient treatise in which Eratosthenes used geometric reasoning and observations of the Sun to calculate the Earth's circumference with remarkable accuracy.
  • E. Pound–Rebka experiment
    The Pound–Rebka experiment was a landmark 1959 physics test that measured the gravitational redshift of gamma rays in Earth’s gravitational field, providing one of the first precise terrestrial confirmations of general relativity.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
