Scientific paper

An experimental test of the inverse-square law has been conducted on a 610 m television tower near Inverness, Mississippi. Gravity was measured at five elevations on the WABG tower, as well as on the surface within an 8 km radius surrounding the tower. These data were combined with archived data extending to 300 km, and all the surface data were corrected for terrain. Assuming the validity of the inverse-square law, the surface data were then analytically continued to predict gravity at each elevation on the tower where measurements were made. The tower observations were compared to the predictions, with the largest discrepancy being -33+/-30 μGal at 493 m. The results are in good agreement with previous tower experiments, which also are in accord with the inverse-square law, and they set further restrictions on possible non-Newtonian forces.
