In der Academy of Science of St. Louis hat der Verf. für den Betrag der südlichen Abweichung eines freifallenden Körpers die Formel abgeleitet: \[ \varDelta = h\left[ \frac{(1+ h/R)^3 K\sin \varphi \cos \varphi}{1- (1+ h/R)^3 K\cos^2 \varphi} - \frac{1}{(1+ h/R)}\;\frac{K\sin \varphi \cos \varphi}{1- K\cos^2 \varphi} \right] \,. \] Hierin ist \(h\) die Fallhöhe, \(R\) der Erdradius, \(\varphi\) die geographische Breite, \(K= 1/289\).
