Everything about Lor Nd E Tv S totally explained
Baron Roland von Eötvös [ˈøtvøʃ] (in
Hungarian Vásárosnaményi Báró Eötvös Loránd, or just
Loránd Eötvös [ˈloraːndˈøtvøʃ],
July 27,
1848 -
April 8,
1919) was a
Hungarian physicist.
Eötvös is remembered today for his experimental work on
gravity, in particular his study of the equivalence of gravitational and inertial
mass (the so-called
weak equivalence principle) and his study of the
gravitational gradient on the Earth's surface.
The weak equivalence principle plays a prominent role in
relativity theory and the
Eötvös experiment was cited by
Albert Einstein in his 1916 paper
The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity.
Measurements of the gravitational gradient are important in applied
geophysics, such as the location of
petroleum deposits. The
CGS unit for gravitational gradient is named the
eotvos in his honor.
From 1886 until his death, Roland Eötvös researched and taught in the
University of Budapest, which in 1950 was renamed after him
(Eötvös Loránd University).
