Eccentricities
of the mass center from the geometric center
of two cylindrical source masses used in the
HUST-99 measurement of the Newtonian gravitational
constant G are determined by means of an electronic
balance. Considering a linear density distribution
of source masses as well as the effect of the
air buoyancy, our value of G should be revised
to be 6.6723(9)*10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2, which is
0.036% larger than our previous published value
in Phys. Rev. D 59, 042001 (1999).
