"Bouguer was the first to attempt to measure the density of the Earth using the deflection of a plumb line due to the attraction of a mountain. Together with La Condamine, he made measurements in Peru in 1740 publishing his results in La Figure de la terre (1749). A more successful use of the same method was made by the astronomer Maskelyne in 1774, placing the density between 4.5 and 5."

" . . . Pierre Bouguer, a French mathematician (1698 to 1758) who demonstrated that gravitational attraction decreases with altitude."
