Solution

The correct option is C Force-Torque Equilirium
Gravitational constant is experimentally determined by the Cavendish experiment. It uses a torsional balance, 2 big spheres, 2 small spheres and a rod. The faint attraction between balls placed alongside the beam is detectable by the deflection it causes. It uses the concept of Force-Torque equilibrium.
