gravimetry
Measuring gravitational pull
Gravimetry is the measurement of weight or gravitational force.
In chemistry, gravimetric analysis determines the quantity of a substance by weighing precipitates or residues: The lab used gravimetry to measure sulfate content.
In geophysics, gravimetry maps variations in Earth's gravitational field to study subsurface structures.
