Field lines of gravity, their curvature and torsion, the Lagrange and the Hamilton equations of the plumbline
The length of the gravitational field lines/of the orthogonal trajectories of a family of gravity equipotential surfaces/of the plumbline between a terrestrial topographic point and a point on a reference equipotential surface like the geoid í also known as the orthometric height í plays a central r...
