Se diseñó un arreglo experimental distinto del de Cavendish, con objeto de verificar la interacción gravitacional entre masas distintas; encontrándose: una región de repulsión gravitacional; un punto de nula interacción; y más allá, una región de atracción gravitacional. Se supuso una relación universal constante entre el producto del cuadrado de las masas de cada planeta por su respectiva distancia al sol y se introdujo la idea que el momento angular para todos y cada uno de los planetas es una constante maxima para el sistema solar. Se descubrió que los resultados numéricos obtenidos para las masas de cada planeta bajo las consideraciones anteriores, son idénticos para cada planeta del sistema solar.

An experimental arrangement different from that of Cavendish was designed with the objective to verify the gravitational interaction between different masses. The experiment showed a gravitational repulsion area, a point of no interaction and a gravitational attraction area. It was supposed that there exists a constant universal ratio between the product of the square of the masses of each planet and its respective distance from the sun, and that the angular momentum is a maximum constant for the solar system. It was discovered that the numeric results obtained for the masses of each planet of the solar system under the above considerations are identical for every planet of the solar system.

Key Words: A CAVENDISH DISTINCT METHOD; GRAVITATIONAL REPULSION; MASSES OF THE PLANETS.

1. Isaac Newton proposed that every gravitational interaction between two bodies with masses M and m, separate by a distance (R ) between their mass centers will always be of an attracting nature and that the attraction force (F) is equal to:
