Understanding the Eötvös experiment
Taking a look at the theory behind the Eötvös experiment, and thus understanding why the lack of observed rotation implies the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass. About me: I studied Physics at the University of Cambridge, then stayed on to get a PhD in Astronomy. During my PhD, I also spent four years teaching Physics undergraduates at the university. Now, I'm working as a private tutor, teaching Physics & Maths up to A Level standard.
