Gravimetry is a scientific technique used to measure the gravitational force or gravitational field strength of an object or location. It is based on the principle that the gravitational attraction of a body is dependent on its mass and distance from other masses. Gravimetry is widely applied in various fields, including geophysics, geology, environmental studies, and resource exploration. The primary objective of gravimetry is to determine variations in the gravitational field caused by changes in the distribution of mass under the Earth's surface.
