Abstract
The gravimetric method for the investigation of geoid is based on a theorem of STOKES (1849): If a surface is given, which encloses all attracting masses and at which the potential of the gravity-i.e. the sum of attracting and centrifugal forces-is constant, the gravity at this surface and everywhere outside it is given too.
